Guest Nancy Charles, former trans activist and lesbian, now a joyful Catholic witness to truth and healing. •⁠  ⁠In this very personal interview with Patrick Coffin, Nancy shares her early years of gender confusion and same-sex attraction, and how the LGBTQ+ movement offered belonging—but not peace. •⁠  ⁠As a proud trans and active lesbian, she championed “authentic self-expression,” yet behind the public persona was deep restlessness, depression, and other traumatic wounds. •⁠  ⁠A crisis moment led her to question the ideology she once preached; the slogans stopped matching reality. •⁠  ⁠Her brother, Joshua Charles (author, scholar, and host of Eternal Christendom), played a key role by patiently engaging her with Scripture, logic, and brotherly love. •⁠  ⁠Through prayer, study of the Catechism, and discovering the mercy of Christ in Confession and the Eucharist, Nancy experienced genuine conversion and interior healing thanks to a kind and wise Catholic priest. •⁠  ⁠She now dedicates her life to helping others harmed by gender ideology find hope in the truth of being created male and female in God’s image. •⁠  ⁠Nancy’s story testifies that grace transforms identity at its deepest level—because Christ doesn’t just affirm us; He restores us.

In this video, Patrick Coffin reviews the teaching of the New Testament on capital punishment (since the Old Testament is so obviously supportive) and how consistent and strong the teaching is, rooted in the Bible and the natural moral law.   Biblical Record:   Civil Authority: Romans 13:1–4 The state bears the sword by divine mandate   Personal Example: Acts 25:10–11 Paul accepts death if guilty   Criminal Justice: Luke 23:39–43 Jesus affirms the thief’s confession of just punishment   Divine Delegation John 19:10–11 Authority to punish comes from God   Mosaic Context John 19:7 Mosaic law included capital punishment; not abrogated as immoral   Divine Precedent: Acts 5:1–11 God directly punishes by death   Judicial Authority: 1 Peter 2:13–14 Governors punish wrongdoers as God’s agents   Theological Analogy: Hebrews 10:28–29 Death penalty as model of divine justice   Apocalyptic Symbolism: Revelation 19:11–15 Christ wields the “sword” of righteous judgment Philosophy: Drawing on Edward Feser and Joseph Bessette’s book By Man Shall His Blood Be Shed—a rigorous exploration of justice, deterrence, and moral order.   👉 Link to book on Amazon https://amzn.to/4qbvKlW   Balance: Mercy and justice are not opposites; both reflect God’s holiness and love.   Final takeaway: Catholics can uphold both the sanctity of life and the moral seriousness of crime without contradiction.   🎯 Join the movement for clarity and courage: 👉 www.patrickcoffin.media  — Become part of True North today.  

In this explosive conversation, Patrick sits down with Pia Varma, writer and commentator behind Laissez-Faire Lounge (Substack + social media).   Pia breaks down the increasingly bizarre official story surrounding the Charlie Kirk killing, showing how the narrative keeps shifting—and why so many unanswered questions remain.   We explore the hidden nexus of influence involving Utah universities, LDS leadership, intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI, and their entanglement with Washington power centers.   Why Utah? Why now? Pia unpacks the threads that connect academia, religion, and state power into a web few dare to discuss.   The Charlie Kirk event is not just about one man—it has become a lens through which media narratives are manufactured, controlled, and enforced.   Patrick and Pia stress that truth-seekers of all faiths—or no faith—must band together to expose deception and resist the manipulation of elites.   Pia shares how her Laissez-Faire Lounge project encourages critical thinking, intellectual honesty, and fearless dialogue.   Follow Pia Varma on Substack (Laissez-Faire Lounge), Twitter/X @PiaVarma, and Instagram @laissezfairelounge  

• In the months leading up to his death, Charlie Kirk began expressing a deep curiosity about Catholicism—especially its intellectual coherence and moral authority in a confused culture. • Friends and collaborators, including Candace Owens and Bishop Josepk Brennan of Fresno, CA, observed his shift toward a more sacramental and historic understanding of Christianity. • Charlie reportedly attended several Catholic events and read Church history, showing particular interest in the unity of faith and reason. • Around the same time, he began questioning his earlier support of political Zionism, distinguishing between biblical Israel and the modern Israeli state. • This parallel “conversion” revealed a search for universal truth rather than partisan ideology. • Patrick Coffin argues that these two developments—his theological awakening and his rejection of ideological nationalism—stemmed from the same root: a desire for transcendent order grounded in Christ and the Catholic faith.

1 Leo XIV learns an important lesson, partly. 1️⃣ Pope Leo XIV Backs Off Politics After months of backlash over his geopolitical hot takes, Pope Leo XIV seems to be learning a rare Vatican lesson: silence is sometimes golden. Sources say the pontiff is stepping back from partisan commentary, focusing instead on evangelization and unity. Patrick Coffin breaks down why Catholics should welcome a pope who prays more and opines less — and how mixing theology with foreign policy never ends well. 2️⃣ Charlie Kirk Case Narrative Collapsing. The official story about the Charlie Kirk murder is unraveling faster than legacy media can spin. Patrick Coffin unpacks how new evidence and brave voices — notably Candace Owens and independent reporters — are exposing contradictions, suppressed footage, and political motives. As the truth surfaces, this case could redefine how Americans view media manipulation and law enforcement narratives. Truth doesn’t fear investigation — it demands it. 3️⃣ Faith Under Fire: New Course Announcement Patrick Coffin announces Faith Under Fire, an all-new online course for Catholics who want to defend truth with clarity and charity. Students will tackle objections to God’s existence, “once saved, always saved,” Sola Scriptura, Marian dogmas, and the Real Presence — all grounded in Scripture, history, and reason. Learn how to stay calm, confident, and Catholic in the face of modern unbelief. Enroll today and reignite your faith.

Known for his quick wit, parody characters, and massive influence in the Chicago media scene, Kevin’s life took a shocking turn when he was diagnosed with a rare form of multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2008. But a chance encounter with a broken statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, found discarded near a dumpster, changed everything. The Turning Point Kevin saw the shattered statue and felt compelled to take her home. That moment became the beginning of a profound spiritual awakening—his return to the Catholic faith he had long ignored. The statue, lovingly called “Broken Mary,” became a symbol of beauty in brokenness and a reminder that God never discards His children. The Film: Broken Mary The new movie tells the incredible true story of grace, suffering, and redemption through Mary’s intercession. Shot in Chicago and Michigan, it traces Kevin’s journey from fame and ego to humility and hope. The film highlights how God uses broken things—and broken people—to reveal His mercy. Ministry and Mission Kevin now travels the country sharing the message of hope, forgiveness, and healing through his Broken Mary Project and Rosary podcast. He reminds audiences that every wound can become a window for grace. Follow Kevin’s work, Rosary app, books, and updates on the film at BrokenMary.com and on social media @BrokenMaryProject.

In 2017, Gavin McInnes appeared on The Patrick Coffin Show because he was banned from social media. This is his return. Gavin joins Patrick to discuss his rollercoaster relationship with social media platforms: banned for years, then suddenly unbanned—what’s really going on behind Big Tech’s decisions? •⁠  ⁠The real story of how Gavin co-founded the Proud Boys: separating fact from myth, and why the media portrayal has been so distorted. •⁠  ⁠Why Gavin believes the Proud Boys were never about racism or extremism, but about fraternity, free speech, and standing up against cultural decline. •⁠  ⁠A surprising turn: Gavin’s journey into the Catholic faith. What drew him to Rome, and why Catholicism—not just generic Christianity—provided the answers he was seeking. •⁠  ⁠Comedy as a mysterious and almost spiritual force: how laughter can reveal deeper truths, confront hypocrisy, and expose lies in a way arguments cannot. •⁠  ⁠Conspiracy theories: why some are ridiculous, why some prove true, and why our culture can’t stop obsessing over them. •⁠  ⁠Reflections on cancel culture, truth-telling, and the power of staying rooted in faith when the world wants to silence you.

Waters, a former Irish Times columnist and First Things contributor, frames the work as Winston Smith's diary from 1984—a record for the unborn, preserving truths amid erasure. Waters argues we've entered a copy of reality detached from the original, where politics, ethics, and truth dissolve. COVID lockdowns exemplify this: a health "crisis" masking authoritarian overreach, with media flipping from truth-telling to industrialized lying.  Was COVID a dream, or did it really happen?Once the "land of saints and scholars," Ireland now embodies cultural collapse—abortion's moral ecosystem shattered, fatherhood in apocalypse (echoing Waters' 1994 play Long Black Coat), and institutional betrayal.  He laments: "I am an authority on the destruction of my country," wishing instead for skills in boats or squash.Waters dissects systemic wickedness: tyrannical police, corrupted judiciaries, silent abolition of laws. Beyond news events, Waters probes meanings—lost freedoms, fractured subjects "subdivisible to infinity," and humanity's thieving under technocratic masks. Despite censorship (his book has been shunned by Irish shops), Waters sees Substack as resistance. Advice: Hold fast to the good; pass truth to posterity.
