13 May 25 – Unearthed: Bishop Prevost Discussing Tensions with Francis
Today's Topics:
1) Gospel - John 10:22-30- The feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around Him and said to Him, “How long are You going to keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in My Father’s Name testify to Me. But you do not believe, because you are not among My sheep. My sheep hear My Voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of My Hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father’s Hand. The Father and I are One.”

12 May 25 – What Was Pope Leo XIII’s Social Teaching?
Today's Topics:
1) Gospel - John 10:1-10 - Jesus said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.” Although Jesus used this figure of speech, the Pharisees did not realize what He was trying to tell them.
So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through Me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”

09 May 25 – Day Two of Pope Leo XIV, the First American Pope
Day Two Analysis: His First Homily & Urbi et Orbi Message
The world is still reeling from the astonishing election of Cardinal Prevost as Pope Leo XIV—an American pontiff taking the name of crusading popes, crowned on the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel. Now, the first words of his papacy have been spoken. What hidden warnings, hopes, or revolutions do they contain?
Join us as we dissect his balcony blessing and inaugural homily line-by-line, including:
The Michaelite Prophecy: Why his emphasis on spiritual warfare and Our Lady of Pompeii signals a pontificate of divine battle—not just diplomacy.
The “Leo” Legacy: How his namesakes (Leo the Great, Leo XIII) hint at coming confrontations with modernity, globalism, or even corruption in the Church.
The American Question: Is his election a divine mercy or a trial for the Church? How traditionalists and reformers are already interpreting him.
Silences That Speak: What he didn’t say—and why it matters more than the platitudes.
Is this the pope who will restore—or the one who will divide? Bring your Rosaries and your discernment. The drama is just beginning.

08 May 25 – The American Pope: Leo XIV
History is made: For the first time, an American—Robert Francis Cardinal Prevost—ascends to the Throne of Peter, taking the name Leo XIV in a nod to the great reforming popes of the past. But as Rome erupts in cheers and whispers, how are Catholics worldwide truly reacting?
From traditional Latin Mass devotees to progressive reformers, from the Vatican Curia to the pews of small-town America, this election divides, inspires, and shocks the faithful. Some see divine providence in his choice of name—invoking Leo the Great’s orthodoxy and Leo XIII’s battles against modernity. Others fear an American pope signals a Church bending to political winds.
In this episode, we explore:
Why "Leo XIV"? The symbolic weight of his name—and what it predicts about his papacy.
The American Factor: How global Catholics view a U.S.-born pope—pride, suspicion, or something deeper?
Traditionalists vs. Progressives: Will he reconcile the Church’s factions… or deepen the rift?
The Prophetic Angle: Conspiracies, signs, and the whispers of St. Malachy’s "last pope" legend.
Love him or question him, one thing is clear: This is a pontificate that will shake the world. Tune in for faithful debate, insider insights, and the drama only a papal election can bring.

07 May 25 – What Type of Pope Do We Need NOW!
Today's Topics:
1) Father Charles Murr joins the show from Spain
Gospel - John 6:35-40 - Jesus said to the crowds, "I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. But I told you that although you have seen Me, you do not believe. Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and I will not reject anyone who comes to Me, because I came down from heaven not to do My own will but the will of the One Who sent Me. And this is the will of the One Who sent Me, that I should not lose anything of what He gave Me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him on the last day."

Today's Topics:
1) Gospel - John 6:30-35 - The crowd said to Jesus: “What sign can You do, that we may see and believe in You? What can You do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”
So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is That which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
So they said to Jesus, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.”

05 May 25 – Bishop Strickland’s Advice to Conclave Voting Cardinals
Today's Topics:
1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - John 6:1-15 - Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples. The Jewish feast of Passover was near. When Jesus raised His Eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to Him, He said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?" He said this to test him, because He Himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered Him, "Two hundred days' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little." One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Him, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?" Jesus said, "Have the people recline." Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, He said to His disciples, "Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted." So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat. When the people saw the sign He had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the One Who is to come into the world." Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry Him off to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain alone.

01 May 25 – Catholics Turn On Democrats and the Vatican II Revolution
Today's Topics:
1) Gospel - John 3:31-36 - The One Who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the One Who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what He has seen and heard, but no one accepts His testimony. Whoever does accept His testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the One Whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration His gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to Him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.

30 Apr 25 – What Is a Conclave?
Today's Topics:
1) Gospel - John 3:16-21 - God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the Name of the Only-Begotten Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.

29 Apr 25 – Conclave Set for 07 May 2025, We Pray for a Holy Pope
Today's Topics:
1) Gospel - John 3:7b-15 - Jesus said to Nicodemus: “‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to Him, ‘How can this happen?” Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, We speak of what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you people do not accept Our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the One Who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.”
