Patriot and Prophet: Critiques of the Founding on its 250th Anniversary (Charles Coulombe) | Ep. 80 Jun 30, 2026

In light of this week's 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we interview Catholic scholar and historian Charles Coulombe. While he is a proud American patriot, he also argues that many elements of the American Founding were incompatible with Catholic teaching (including the justification for the Revolution itself). We consider some of these issues on this auspicious anniversary.

As much as we got into in this interview, there are many more issues yet to explore on this topic. Stay tuned for future interviews.

Refuting the Lies About So-Called "LGBTQ+ Catholics" (Nancy Charles) | Ep. 79 Jun 24, 2026

In this episode, we interview Joshua's sister, Nancy Charles, who also serves as Eternal Christendom's Director of Operations. She was miraculously converted to the Catholic Faith out of the LGBTQ+ lifestyle, drug abuse, and multiple suicide attempts.

Now she is exposing the lies about so-called "LGBTQ+ Catholics," and explains the Catholic Church's answer to these lies: the call to find our FULL identity not in our temptations and sins, but in Christ.

Eucharist Snapshot: 1st Century Catholic Worship in the "Didache" | Ep. 78 Jun 17, 2026

Today we are inaugurating a new mini-series: the "Eucharist Snapshot." Like the "Papal Snapshot," the Eucharist Snapshot will go document-by-document to prove the ancient roots of Catholic belief about the Eucharist.

This first "Eucharist Snapshot" will cover the Didache, perhaps the most ancient Christian document outside the Bible, and the incredibly Catholic things it says about the Eucharist as a sacrifice.

How St. John Used Aristotle to Unveil Christ, Judas, and Peter (John Johnson) | Ep. 77 Jun 10, 2026

In this fascinating and profound episode, we dive into the deep mysteries of St. John's Gospel with John Johnson, the founder of Patmos Hosting and the Albertus Magnus Institute (and Joshua Charles's sponsor into the Catholic Church). Johnson reveals that St. John was likely a student of Aristotle, and used his most powerful rhetorical techniques to communicate the most sublime truths about Christ, the Eucharist, the betrayal of Judas, and the authority of Peter.

Puritan Pastor in Revolutionary America Becomes Catholic: The Conversion of John Thayer | Ep. 69 Apr 15, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In our first episode since Easter Sunday, and in light of the extraordinary number of new Catholic converts this year, we cover the amazing (and very familiar sounding!) conversion account of the first early American Puritan Pastor to the Catholic Faith. His name was John Thayer. He was known to Benjamin Franklin, and even challenged John Adams on Luther and Calvin. He converted in 1783, the same year the United States won its independence from Great Britain, and later became a priest dedicated to evangelizing his beloved America.

Christ is King! Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

Holy Week 2026: The Cross or Damnation (The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers ) | Ep. 68 Apr 01, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

For this Holy Week 2026, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Good Friday Sermon 70, delivered on April 2, 443, 1,583 years ago! This is the final sermon in our 2026 series "The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers," and in it, St. Pope Leo the Great reminds us that for Christians, taking up the cross is not an option. If we refuse, we will be damned. If we accept and endure to the end by God's grace, we will be saved.

May we join Our Lord on His Cross as we anticipate the joy of His Resurrection!

Lent Proves We Are Christians: The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers | Ep. 67 Mar 26, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

For this final week of Lent before Holy week, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Lenten Sermon 40, delivered on March 1, 442, 1,584 years ago! Once more, this great Pope and Church Father presents us with powerful Lenten themes of sacrifice and penance being the marks of true Christians. Lent is what proves we are Christians. If yours has not gone as well as you hoped: it's not over! You still have time to offer generous sacrifices for Our Lord in preparation for the Passover.

For this fifth week of Lent, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Lenten Sermon 43, delivered on February 25, 445, 1,581 years ago! Once more, this great Pope and Church Father presents us with powerful Lenten themes of sacrifice and penance being the marks of true Christians. Lent is indeed the "bootcamp" for Christian soldiers, and the "training field" for Christian athletes.

Conquering Self: The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers | Ep. 65 Mar 13, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

For this fourth week of Lent, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Lenten Sermon 39, delivered on February 9, 441. Once more, this powerful sermon reminds us that the conquering of self is absolutely vital to Christian life and salvation. This great and saintly Pope especially reminds us that three of the most powerful means of doing so is forgiving others, fasting, and almsgiving.

May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!

We Are Not Christians Without the Cross: The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers | Ep. 63 Feb 25, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

For this second week of Lent, we are contemplating Sermon 44 of St. Pope Leo the Great (c. 391-461), which was delivered exactly 1,575 years before the publication of this episode. Like last week's sermon, it is brimming with incredible Lenten insights and vindications of the Catholic Faith, reminding us that we are not truly Christians unless we bear the cross of Christ.

May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!

Ash Wednesday: Entering the Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers | Ep. 62 Feb 18, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this Ash Wednesday episode, we enter into Eternal Christendom's traditional Lenten "hiddenness" in which we do audio-only episodes, reading and reflecting on Lenten sermons by the Church Fathers each week until we attain the joy of the Lord's Resurrection.

This Lent, we will read the sermons of St. Pope Leo the Great (c. 391-461), a great Saint, Church Father, Doctor of the Church, and Pope. Our first reading will be Sermon 48, delivered on March 13, 455. It is full of insights about our Catholic Faith, as well as refutations of various heresies and errors that are popular in our day. He compares our Lenten preparation for the joy of the "Pascal Feast" (Easter) with cleansing the "temples" of our soul.

May we sacrifice greatly for love of Christ this Lent, rightly preparing the temples of our souls!

Martin Luther's "Reformation": Some Myths, Confusions, and Lies (Ryan Grant) | Ep. 61 Feb 12, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode we interview Ryan Grant, a Latinist and founder of Mediatrix Press, about Martin Luther, specifically some of the myths, confusions, and even lies that have been built up around him to justify the protestant "reformation."

Among many other great works it has revived, Mediatrix Press produced the first English translation in 500 years of St. John Fisher's "Against Luther's Babylonian Captivity." Fisher was among the only bishops to remain faithful to the Church in England, and was later martyred for his defense of the Catholic Faith. Joshua Charles wrote the Foreword to this volume.

Why the Bible is Catholic: How Typology Comes Directly from Christ and the Apostles | Ep. 60 Feb 05, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we explain how Christ and the Apostles provided us a key to open the treasures of Scripture in a way that shows the Bible is profoundly Catholic: Typology, the principle that "the New is hidden in the Old, and the Old is revealed in the New."

As I was converting from protestantism, I was frequently told by protestants that various typological arguments in favor of the Catholic Faith were "unbiblical," to the point that some of them would effectively deny the reality of Typology itself. This episode will prove otherwise, building the foundation for future episodes showing how Typology bolsters the Catholic Faith by proving that it wasn't imposed on Scripture by the Church Fathers and the Catholic Church, but rather comes directly from Christ and the Apostles.

Why Eastern Orthodoxy Falls Short (Ben Bollinger) | Ep. 59 Jan 29, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview our friend and convert from Eastern Orthodoxy, Ben Bollinger. He explains why Eastern Orthodoxy is "close, but not it." We focused especially on the papacy and Purgatory. Ben has a great love and respect for the Eastern Orthodox, with whom he encountered not only many great and profound truths of the faith, but joyful and edifying fellowship. As good as these things were, however, he explains how Eastern Orthodoxy does not enjoy the fullness of truth and communion found in the Catholic Church.

Church Father: The Pope is "the Vicar of God" (St. Isidore of Seville) | Papal Snapshot | Ep. 58 Jan 24, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this "Papal Snapshot" episode, we cover a letter from St. Isidore of Seville (c. 560-636) that very plainly asserts the papacy is divinely established by Christ. He also laid out a framework for when the Pope should and should not be obeyed.

This particular episode was "inspired" by a prominent protestant apologist who blatantly asserted the falsehood that St. Isidore did not believe the Pope had greater authority than other bishops. Once more, when you read the writings of the Fathers from beginning to end, it's a very different story.

Judas Within: "Shipwreck in the faith is frequent" (St. Basil) | Ep. 57 Jan 20, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this "Judas within" episode, we cover a letter from the great eastern Church Father, St. Basil, that laments scandals within the Church in the late 300's. It could have been written yesterday, and thus we hope it is a source of consolation amidst any difficult time in the Church. Such difficulties are "one-niners" (Ecclesiastes 1:9, "nothing new under the sun").

This is the first of what will be many more "mini-episodes" (around 10 minutes or less) we will now release on a regular basis. Some weeks will have single longer episodes, and some will have multiple "mini-episodes," covering amazing stories and evidence of Catholic belief in the ancient Church. There are so many nuggets to share, and these "mini-episodes" will allow us to share them with you more quickly. Another one will come out later this week on the papacy!

Messiah's Defeat of the Demons: How the Catholic Church Conquered Paganism (St. Athanasius) | Ep. 56 Jan 14, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

Happy New Year! We open this new year of Our Lord 2026 with a bang: in this episode, we cover how Messiah defeated the demons, overturned the millennia-long reign of false gods, and converted an empire, as recounted by the great 4th century Church Father, St. Athanasius, in his classic work, "On the Incarnation of the Word."

Magic and sorcery failed; the oracles went silent; ancient lairs of paganism like Egypt and Babylon turned to Christ; the sign of the cross scattered demons; and the nations left behind their differing worship of many false gods for the one worship of the true God in His Catholic Church.

Let us remember this great and epic history in our day!

New Year with the Fathers (St. Pope Leo the Great, Sermons 25 and 35) | Ep. 55 Dec 31, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we close out 2025 and enter 2026 with Christmas and Epiphany sermons from St. Pope Leo the Great, delivered on Christmas Day 444, and January 6, 445 respectively.

2nd Annual "Christmas with the Church Fathers" with Gavin Ashenden (Pope Leo the Great) | Ep. 54 Dec 24, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we officially inaugurate an annual Eternal Christendom Christmas tradition with our friend and colleague Dr. Gavin Ashenden: "Christmas with the Church Fathers." Last year, we were privileged to have Gavin's beautiful voice read a profound and moving Christmas sermon by St. Augustine, upon which we reflected.

This year, Gavin reads and we reflect upon two powerful sermons by St. Pope Leo the Great: Sermon 19 for Advent (delivered December 14, 452) , and Sermon 21 for Christmas (delivered December 25, 440). This great Saint, Church Father, Doctor of the Church, and Pope reminds us in both of these sermons that the coming of God in the flesh as a baby ought remind Christians of their profound dignity, from which flows their serious duties and high calling.

A Happy Advent, and Merry Christmas to all!

Papal Snapshot: The Emperor Submits to the Pope (Justinian) | Ep. 52 Dec 10, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, our next "Papal Snapshot," we cover the famous Law Code of Justinian and what it says about the authority of the Pope as revealed in an exchange of letters between Emperor Justinian and Pope John II. The Code of Justinian had an enormous impact on the development of the western legal tradition, making its strong affirmation of papal authority all the more notable.

Confusion in the City of God, Part 1 (Dr. Peter Kwasniewski and Dr. Larry Chapp) | Ep. 51 Dec 03, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

It seems a lot has changed since Vatican II (1962-65)—so much so that many prospective and actual converts to the Catholic Faith are confused and concerned. Has the Church contradicted Herself? Has She rejected Her own tradition? Has She taught error? Has She trashed Her own liturgy? How are we to make sense of the changes that have taken place since the 1960's?

This episode is the first of a series of conversations that seek to honestly address these pressing questions. Our two guests are Dr. Peter Kwasniewski and Dr. Larry Chapp—two Christian gentlemen who are highly educated, orthodox, and lived just prior to and after the fallout of Vatican II. They agree and disagree on a great deal, but they are both loyal sons of the Church, and grounded in the Great Tradition of Christendom. Look for Part 2 in early 2026.

How This Church Father "Red Pilled" Me on the Catholic Church, Part 2 | Ep. 48 Nov 12, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we complete our dive into the writings of the Church Father who "Red Pilled" me on the Catholic Church while I was still a protestant: St. Ignatius of Antioch. If you haven't seen it, start with Part 1 first, which is Episode 44: https://youtu.be/CK1_22AjdIQ

St. Ignatius of Antioch was ordained by the Apostles, and barely 70 years after Christ's Ascension wrote astoundingly Catholic things about: the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, apostolic succession, the authority of the priesthood, the Christian altar, the necessity of unity, the greater authority of the Roman Church, and even the very name of the one true Church: the "Catholic Church." Today we are publishing Part 2 of this two-part series in honor of my patron saint, who did so much to "Red Pill" me on the Catholic Church.

Why the Queen's Chaplain Left Anglicanism and Became Catholic (Dr. Gavin Ashenden) | Ep. 47 Nov 06, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Dr. Gavin Ashenden (former chaplain to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II) on his conversion from Anglicanism to the Catholic Faith. He describes in vivid detail his discovery of the reality of Christ in the Eucharist, spiritual warfare against the Catholic Church, and realizing that much of what he had been told throughout his life about both the Church and protestantism was propaganda.

St. Augustine Identifies the Catholic Church as the One True Church (Of True Religion) | Ep. 46 Oct 29, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we dive into one of the writings of the great Church Father St. Augustine (354-430) to see how he describes the one true Church. This time, we explore his treatise "Of True Religion," written between 389 and 391, which not only describes the one true Church, but the heresies and schisms that break away from it, as well as the process of doctrinal development. Once more, just as his descriptions of heretics and schismatics remains true to this day, so does St. Augustine's description of the one true Church continue to match only one church 1,600 years later: the Catholic Church.

Christ's Church is Roman, Part 2 (Dr. Alan Fimister) | Ep. 45 Oct 22, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this long anticipated Part 2 (see Ep. 19 for Part 1), Catholic theologian and historian Dr. Alan Fimister defends this provocative assertion: the Church founded by Jesus Christ is Roman, in some mysterious sense prophesied in the Old, and fulfilled in the New Testament. The implications are astounding, not only in terms of how we understand the past, but the present, as well as the future history of the world. Part 2 focuses more on the fulfillment of these prophecies in the New Testament. A forthcoming Part 3 will focus on the "Roman" aspects of the end times (particularly the "restrainer" that holds back the coming of Antichrist).

If you haven't yet seen Part 1, check out Ep. 19 here: https://youtu.be/_fR-Y8wd7O0

In Our Modern Dystopia, Take Up the Apostolate of Study (Fr. Justin Gable, OP) | Ep. 43 Oct 08, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Fr. Justin Gable, OP, a Dominican priest and professor at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (DSPT) in Berkeley, California. When he was interim President of DSPT, Fr. Gable delivered an address to the student body on the vital importance of the "Apostolate of Study" to our increasingly dystopian modern times. In this episode, he generously delivers this address again for us, and we discuss its contents in more detail.

St. Augustine on the Traits of the One True Church (Hint: It's the Catholic Church) | Ep. 42 Oct 01, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we dive into one of the writings of the great Church Father St. Augustine (354-430) to see how he describes the one true Church. The work is "Against the Fundamental Letter of Manichaeus," which he wrote in AD 397. In short, St. Augustine describes the one true Church in a way that, 1,600 years later, continues to match only one church: the Catholic Church.

From Baptist to Catholic, and Answering the Toughest Protestant Objections (Suan Sonna) | Ep. 41 Sep 24, 2025

In this episode, we interview Baptist to Catholic convert Suan Sonna, of @intellectualcatholicism, about his conversion, and some of the lessons he learned about responding to some of the toughest protestant objections during the time he's been Catholic. Suan is one of the great young scholars in the Catholic world today, and is particularly well known for his work on the papacy, and icon veneration.

Suan Sonna is the director of apologetics for the diocese of Bridgeport, CT under Bishop Frank J. Caggiano. He earned his BA in philosophy from Kansas State University, and a Masters from Harvard Divinity School in New Testament Studies. He is currently pursuing another Masters at Yale University in Second Temple Judaism.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we cover an astounding discovery we made in the writings of the Church Fathers, particularly St. Justin Martyr: his description of Christian worship and belief about the Eucharist continues to match Catholic practice and theology to this very day.

Restoring Education Amidst the Rubble of our Post-Christian Civilization (Jeremy Tate) | Ep. 39 Sep 10, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Jeremy Tate, the founder and CEO of the Classic Learning Test, and one of the most prominent leaders in the revival of classical education. We discuss his conversion to the Catholic Faith, how modern education has lied to us, and how education based on the sources of the Great Tradition (classical education) is the only viable path toward recovering the true, the good, and the beautiful amidst our crumbling post-Christian civilization.

Jeremy Tate is also a member of Eternal Christendom's Advisory Board. You can visit his organization's website here: https://www.cltexam.com/

From Abortion to Gaza: The Catholic Duty to Stand with the Scapegoat (Jason Jones) | Ep. 38 Sep 03, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

While we normally would have a monologue this week, the urgency of the situation in places like Gaza compelled us to publish this interview sooner than later.

In this episode, we interview world-renowned humanitarian Jason Jones, founder of the Vulnerable People Project (VPP). Jason is a Catholic convert from atheism, and through his deep study of the Great Tradition, has built his life's work of promoting a culture of life and human dignity based on a simple principle: Catholics have a duty to stand with the scapegoat.

His work has taken him from the halls of power in Washington, DC advocating for the dignity of the unborn, to some of the most troubled spots on earth: Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and now Gaza. In a world constantly trying to get us to pick unworthy sides in sordid conflicts, Jason embodies what it means for Catholics to not merely think about the Great Tradition, but to live it out in our lives: sacrificially taking up the cross of Our Scapegoat Jesus Christ, and standing with all the other scapegoats the world abuses and destroys for its own purposes.

Jason Jones is a film producer, author, activist, popular podcast host, and dedicated human rights worker. He is also a member of Eternal Christendom's Advisory Board.

Up to Zion: A Jew Converts to the Catholic Faith, & God's Plan for the Jews (Gideon Lazar) | Ep. 37 Aug 27, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Jewish convert Gideon Lazar about his conversion to the Catholic Faith, and discuss (among other things) modern Zionism and the role of the Jewish people (hopefully the first of many such discussions).

Gideon Lazar received a BA in Classics and Medieval/Byzantine Studies from the Catholic University of America. Having grown up in a Jewish family, he was baptized in 2018 and received into the Catholic Church in 2019. He is currently an MA Theology student and the institute coordinator for the St. Basil Institute for the Study of the Theology of Creation. He writes about theology on his Substack and creates YouTube videos on his channel "The Byzantine Scotist." He lives near Seattle with his wife and kids.

The Narrow Way to the Heavenly Altar: Catechesis with the Fathers + Substack Announcement | Ep. 36 Aug 20, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we announce the new Eternal Christendom Substack, and provide a free example of the content we are offering to premium Subscribers ($8/month). It's called "Catechesis with the Fathers," in which we will read a work of the Church Fathers, and unlock its treasury of wisdom from four perspectives: theology, philosophy, apologetics, and the spiritual life.

In this "Catechesis with the Fathers," we will read two amazing sermons--Sermons 149 and 227--by a lesser known, but amazing western Church Father, St. Caesarius of Arles (c. 468/470-542). We paired these two sermons together since Sermon 149 discusses the narrow cruciform path to salvation, and Sermon 227 explains how the Catholic altar on earth is intrinsically connected with the heavenly altar, and how to approach it worthily so as to receive the Eucharist unto eternal life, instead of eternal damnation.

Thank you to Catholic University of America Press for giving us permission to read from their translation of the Church Fathers.

You can buy Volume 47 here: https://www.cuapress.org/9780813228259/sermons/

Why Believing in God Makes Sense of So Many Things (Classical Theist) | Ep. 35 Aug 13, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview one of the rising online Gen Z catechists and apologists, the brilliant "Classical Theist." In what we hope will be the first of many interviews, we discuss his conversion to the Catholic Faith, as well as some of the many reasons for why belief in the existence of God is rational, and disbelief is irrational.

Anti-Catholic Protestant Historian: No Institution as Enduring as the Papacy | Ep. 34 Aug 06, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode we cover the striking observations of an anti-Catholic protestant historian, who was forced to admit that the Papacy was the most enduring institution in history.

The question then becomes: is this simply a freak accident of history? Or is it the fulfillment of Christ's promises to St. Peter and His Church that the gates of Hell would never prevail against it?

There and Back Again: How Scripture & History Brought an Ex-Catholic Home (Steven Alspach) | Ep. 33 Jul 30, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview co-host of The Catholic Brothers podcast, Steven Alspach. Steven grew up Catholic, but fell away from the faith into Protestantism. However, he quickly realized things weren't adding up. Over the next decade or so, despite his attempts to avoid going back to the Catholic Church, his study of Scripture and Church history made him realize the Catholic Church was in fact the Church established by Christ Himself.

Steven Alspach holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Purdue University and a Masters in Theological Studies degree from the Early Christian Studies department at Wheaton College. After 15 years in various forms of Protestantism he came back to the faith of his childhood in the Catholic Church.

He was the Project Coordinator for the Ancient Faith Study Bible, published through Holman Bible Publishers, author of the book “Prophets and Councils: Montanism and the Church of Carthage,” is currently writing an article on the historical development of icon veneration for Catholic Quill, and is the co-host of The Catholic Brothers podcast and its popular First 500 Years Series.

How Corruption in the Church "Helped" a Jew Become Catholic | Ep. 32 Jul 23, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we share a story from the "Decameron," a 14th century collection of stories told in Italy during the Black Death. This one is about a Medieval Jew who became a Medieval Catholic, and how corruption in the Church actually helped convince him that he should become Catholic.

This humorous story illustrates a vital truth: sin within the Church can never revoke Christ's promises to protect and guide Her into all truth until His return.

My Shocking Discovery of John Calvin's "gnostic" Canon of Scripture | Ep. 30 Jul 09, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, I cover one of the most shocking discoveries I made as a protestant exploring the Catholic Church: John Calvin, and many other protestant sects, were "gnostics" when it came to the canon of Scripture (which books should be in the Bible). In fact, their account of how we can know the canon of Scripture was eerily similar to the "burning in the bosom" Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) use to vouch for the Book of Mormon. We consider the disturbing implications of this.

Apostate Emperor Tried to Rebuild the "Third Temple" (like Antichrist), and God Stopped Him | Ep. 28 Jun 25, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we cover an incredible event that took place in AD 363: an apostate Roman Emperor who was trying to revive paganism attempted to rebuild the "Third Temple" in Jerusalem. Why? So he could disprove Christ's divinity, and seduce the Jews into eventually becoming pagans. His plot was eerily similar to how most Church Fathers say Antichrist will behave toward Christians and Jews in the end times.

But divine intervention stopped him. Fire, explosions from the ground, storms, the sign of the cross in the sky and on the garments of the workers: these and other signs reported by multiple ancient accounts (both pagan and Christian) caused such great fear among the pagans and Jews involved in the project that it was abandoned. Many converted to the Catholic Faith as a result.

The Bible Verse That Began My Journey to the Catholic Church | Ep. 26 Jun 11, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, I cover a verse from the Gospel of John (John 20:21-23) that greatly disturbed me as a protestant. Jesus literally gave the Apostles the authority to forgive or not forgive sins! I had no framework for understanding this as a protestant. In retrospect, I now see it as the beginning of my journey to the Catholic Church.

The Papacy is Divinely Established: St. Thomas Aquinas's (Brief) Case | Ep. 24 May 28, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In today's episode, we dive into St. Thomas Aquinas's "brief" case for the papacy. He makes four arguments, and responds to two objections (both of which are often made by protestants and other non-Catholics to this day!). These arguments come from his apologetic work, Summa Contra Gentiles (Book 4, Ch. 76).

If you aren't Catholic, learn why the papacy makes sense from Scripture and reason. If you are Catholic, learn how to defend the papacy with these great arguments from St. Thomas.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview one of the rising public intellectuals of our age, the English philosopher Dr. Sebastian Morello, about his fascinating conversion to the Catholic Faith. This is the first time Dr. Morello has shared his entire conversion account in public, and we are honored to host him at Eternal Christendom!

Dr. Sebastian Morello is a lecturer, public speaker, and writer. He earned his doctorate in philosophy under the supervision of the renowned conservative philosopher Sir Roger Scruton. He specializes in how the Western intellectual tradition has shaped our political structures, societies, and cultures. He has authored and delivered numerous books and courses to engage the public, and written for various magazines and journals. Among his many books are "Conservatism and Grace: The Conservative Case for Religion by Establishment," and a work of metaphysics entitled "The World as God's Icon: Creator and Creation in the Platonic Thought of Thomas Aquinas." His most recent book, "Mysticism, Magic, and Monasteries: Recovering the Sacred Mystery as the Heart of Reality," analyzes and addresses major challenges facing the Church today.

Dr. Morello is currently a Contributing Editor, Editorial Board Member, columnist, and filmmaker at the European Conservative, a respected popular journal of political and social criticism. He is also an avid huntsman, and conservationist. He lives in Bedfordshire, England with his wife and children.

Judas Within: The Church Fathers on Enduring Evil in the One True Church (St. Augustine) | Ep. 22 May 14, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this first episode of our "Judas Within" mini-series, we cover how the Church Fathers explained that the Catholic Church was the one true Church established by Christ, and yet also endured great scandal and corruption within.

We show how they unpacked Scripture to explain that the Church on earth will always have to deal with this "Judas Within" the Church, and then share a powerful example of this from the writings of St. Augustine (Letter 208). In that letter, St. Augustine exhorts all Christians to remain within the Catholic Church despite the “Judas Within,” and that doing so is a means of gaining eternal reward and growing in holiness.

Ancient Church Shows Protestant Scholar Paul Was Catholic (Dr. Matthew Thomas) | Ep. 21 May 07, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview biblical scholar Dr. Matthew Thomas, a convert to the Catholic faith from protestantism, on how the ancient Church showed him that St. Paul was Catholic. This was especially the case with respect to faith, works, and justification. Everywhere he looked in the ancient Church, the Church Fathers and other Christian documents exhibited a fundamentally Catholic understanding of Paul's teaching on "works of the law" and justification. This discovery became the basis for his book, "Paul's 'Works of the Law' in the Perspective of Second-Century Reception," as well as his conclusion that on this point, protestantism represented a 16th century novelty with no precedent in Church history.

Dr. Thomas is the Associate Professor of Biblical Studies, and the Theology Department Chair at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkley, CA. You can read more of his bio here: https://dspt.edu/matthew-thomas/

How I Concluded “Scripture Alone” Was False While Still a Protestant | Ep. 20 Apr 30, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, Joshua Charles unveils how he concluded—even while he was still a protestant—that "sola scriptura" (or "Scripture alone") was a false doctrine.

He explains how he reached this conclusion in two primary ways: he recognized "sola scriptura" was both logically incoherent, and inconsistent with the sacred history recounted in the Bible itself.

To his shock and amazement, Joshua's intuitions were ultimately confirmed by a famous and well-respected protestant teacher and theologian who advocated "sola scriptura."

Christ's Church is Roman, Part 1 (Dr. Alan Fimister) | Ep. 19 Apr 23, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In Part 1 of this fascinating interview, Catholic theologian and historian Dr. Alan Fimister defends this provocative assertion: the Church founded by Jesus Christ is Roman, in some mysterious sense prophesied in the Old, and fulfilled in the New Testament. The implications are astounding, not only in terms of how we understand the past, but the present, as well as the future history of the world.

My Sister's Miraculous Conversion to the Catholic Faith (Nancy Charles) | Ep. 16 Mar 19, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

I'm honored to present a special interview of my sister, Nancy Charles, about her miraculous conversion to the Catholic Faith (we apologize for some minor tech issues we had with some of my audio).

After the divorce of our parents, drugs, suicide attempts, and falling into the LGBTQ+ lifestyle, Christ illuminated my sister's mind and touched her heart on March 19, 2023 at a Latin Mass. She came into the Church on September 29, 2023, the Feast of her patron saint, St. Michael the Archangel.

The Rosary and Eucharistic Adoration played a huge role in her conversion, as it has for many members of our family who have now come into the Church.

Nancy is now working full-time for Eternal Christendom, doing so much behind the scenes to build this apostolate on solid foundations. Please remember her in your prayers, and consider including us in your Lenten almsgiving!

St. Augustine's 1,600 Year Old Sermon for the Beginning of Lent (Sermon 205) | Ep. 15 Mar 05, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

On this Ash Wednesday, in the humbling and penitential spirit of Lent, we are publishing our first audio-only episode.

Thanks to the Catholic University of America Press, who has given Eternal Christendom permission to read from their "Fathers of the Church" series for our podcast, we are going to read Sermon 205, delivered by St. Augustine at the beginning of Lent approximately 1,600 years ago. We will then offer some reflections on both the sermon, and an exhortation to a sacrificial Lent amidst the very dark and chaotic times in which we live.

Let us offer great sacrifices during this season in which we most actively join ourselves to the sacrifice of Our Lord on the cross.

One Church to Rule Them All: Discovering the "Big C" Catholic Church of the Creeds | Ep. 14 Feb 19, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

As protestants, we'd sometimes say one of the ancient Creeds, including the line affirming a belief in the "one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church." This always confused me, since we weren't Catholic.

To get around this, I was frequently told that "Catholic" in the Creeds referred to "little c" catholic, a generalized reference to all, or most Christians.

But when I dug into the writings of the Church Fathers, the men who wrote and defended the Creeds, I found absolutely nothing like this "little c" idea of the "catholic church." They everywhere asserted and defended only the "Big C" Catholic Church: a single, visible society possessing a unity of faith, worship, and government.

Why a Former Atheist Found Protestantism Unconvincing (Dr. Alan Fimister) | Ep. 13 Feb 06, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In our first full-length interview, we host Dr. Alan Fimister, a renowned theologian and seminary professor, to discuss his conversion to the Catholic Faith from atheism, and why he found protestantism so unconvincing. Not only did he find it unconvincing, he concluded it played a decisive role in the rise of secularism. We also discuss issues of political theology, Christendom, and the rise of liberalism (both "left" and "right" wing varieties).

Dr. Fimister is a member of Eternal Christendom's Advisory Board. We hope to host him as a regular guest on the Eternal Christendom Podcast. You can find his bio here: https://eternalchristendom.com/advisory-board/

Papal Snapshot: The Pope is the Head of the Church (St. Jerome) | Ep. 12 Jan 22, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this Papal Snapshot, we dive into St. Jerome's incredibly Catholic view of the papacy and the authority of the Pope as outlined in his Letter 15 to St. Pope Damasus. St. Jerome was a Church Father who lived from c. 342-420, and is widely considered one of the greatest Scripture scholars of the ancient Church.

The Prophecy That Convinced Me the “Apocrypha” Was Part of the Bible | Ep. 11 Jan 08, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

This is our first episode dealing with the so-called "Apocrypha," the 7 books of the Bible rejected by protestants, but accepted by the Catholic Church.

In this episode, I recount reading the words of the Book of Wisdom—a book I had always considered part of the "Apocrypha" as a protestant—and being astounded by how accurately Wisdom 2 predicted the crucifixion of Our Lord and its circumstances. To me, it was as clear, if not clearer, than the prophecy found in Isaiah 53, which I considered to be one of the proofs of the divine origin of the Old Testament.

But if that was true, and since Wisdom was written centuries before Christ, how could it not be from God, and thus part of the Bible?

This prophecy helped open the door for me to consider the possibility I had been wrong about the "Apocrypha," and that it actually was part of the Bible, as the Catholic Church taught.

The Foolishness of God: Many Christians Already Embrace the Antichrist Agenda | Ep. 6 Oct 30, 2024

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

This is the first episode in our new series, "The Foolishness of God: The End Times." The term "foolishness of God" comes from St. Paul, who said "the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men" (1 Cor. 1:25). He was speaking about the Passion of Our Lord, which the Church teaches is a type of the end times Passion of the Church (see the Catholic Catechism, paragraphs 675-77).

In this first introductory installment, we'll discuss the Antichrist Agenda as outlined by the famous 19th century protestant convert, St. John Henry Newman, and how most Christians have already accepted many parts of it.

Setting the Record Straight: Reformation Era Pope Repents, and Warns of Luther's Errors | Ep. 5 Oct 16, 2024

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

This is the first episode in our new series, "Setting the Record Straight: The Truth vs. Anti-Catholic Myths," in which we will refute various anti-Catholic myths, and share eye-opening accounts that paint an entirely different picture of the Catholic Church than we are often given.

In this first installment, we cover a largely unknown story of a Pope who not only repented of the sins of priests and Popes at the very beginning of the protestant "reformation," but also provided a stunningly accurate and prophetic warning about where Luther's errors would lead.

Papal Snapshot: Pagan Historian Acknowledges Papal Authority (mid 300s) | Ep. 3 Aug 05, 2024

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, our founder Joshua Charles inaugurates a new “mini-series” called “Papal Snapshots.” Each Papal Snapshot will examine one story, document, or quote from the ancient Church, and unpack what it reveals about the nature and extent of papal authority.

This first Papal Snapshot covers the remarkable acknowledgement of papal authority in the mid-300s by an ancient pagan historian, Ammianus Marcellinus. His account not only mentions the higher authority of the Pope without further comment, but discusses the acknowledgement of this authority by the Roman Emperor Constantius as well in the midst of the Arian crisis.

No One in Scripture Interpreted it on Their Own | Ep. 2 Jul 08, 2024

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, our founder Joshua Charles recounts how, in order to solve “my unsolvable dilemma as a protestant” (see Episode #1), he went to Scripture to see how doctrinal disputes were resolved. In the process, he discovered a disturbing fact: no one in Scripture interpreted it on their own.

In other words, no one in Scripture was doing what he thought was normative Christian practice as a protestant. On the contrary, everyone was under apostolic authority: the authority of the Apostles themselves, or those they had appointed. Outside this line of authority, no one was empowered to interpret Scripture on their own.

Despite the fact that his conversion to the Catholic Faith was still years away, Joshua realized even then that what he was seeing in Scripture was simply not compatible with protestantism (or at the very least, most forms of it).

My Unsolvable Dilemma as a protestant | Ep. 1 May 13, 2024

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this first episode of the Eternal Christendom podcast—the first of our Five Masterpieces—our founder Joshua Charles recounts one of the biggest dilemmas he had as a protestant by reflecting on Christ’s words: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15).

He wanted to love Jesus, and thus obey His commandments. But many people around him frequently had different opinions on just what those commandments were. Often, their opinions were the exact opposites of one another.

To make matters worse, the prominent teachers (both historical and contemporary) and mentors he consulted were often virtuous, well-educated, and acting in good faith.

So his dilemma became: how do I know what Christ actually commanded? How do I know what is true beyond mere opinion?

We hope you are inspired and edified. Please consider joining us in this labor of love for Christ and His Church. In the midst of our darkening world, help us preserve and revive the Great Tradition of Christendom by building something beautiful and enduring for future generations.

Pray the Rosary for Peter Thiel! | Great Rosary Campaign Aug 09, 2026

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

For this week's Great Rosary Campaign, let us pray for the conversion of billionaire venture capitalist and entrepreneur behind Pay Pal, Palantir, etc., Peter Thiel.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

Pray the Rosary for Peace! | Great Rosary Campaign Aug 03, 2026

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

For this week's Great Rosary Campaign, as the war in the Middle East remains unresolved and the global energy and economic outlook perilous, pray the Rosary for the leaders of the main countries involved (the United States, Iran, and the State of Israel), and that the war would be brought to a peaceful conclusion.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

Pray for Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks) | Great Rosary Campaign: Star Trek Edition May 10, 2026

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign: Star Trek Edition, we are praying for the conversion of Avery Brooks, who played Captain Benjamin Sisko in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. May he "live long and prosper" unto eternal life!

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Ancient Marian Apparition: Our Lady and St. John Appear to St. Gregory Thaumaturgus (200s) | Ep. 70 Apr 22, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we cover an incredible apparition of Our Lady and St. John—the most ancient recorded in the writings of the Church Fathers—to St. Gregory Thaumaturgus, a great Church Father and bishop of the ancient Catholic Church. When he asked for wisdom to better understand the Catholic Faith and defend it against heretics, they appeared and provided him a completely orthodox confession of faith almost a century before the first Ecumenical Council of Nicaea.

Yet more ancient evidence that Our Lady has offered Her motherly love and guidance to the Church since ancient times!

War Leaders: Trump, Netanyahu, Ayatollah | Great Rosary Campaign Apr 13, 2026

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we are praying for each of the leaders of the countries in the current Middle East War: President Trump of the United States, Prime Minister Netanyahu of the State of Israel, and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei of Iran. We pray for an end to this increasingly destructive war, and for the conversion of each of these leaders to the Catholic Faith revealed to us by the Prince of Peace.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.

War, Enemies, and Sin: The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers | Ep. 64 Mar 04, 2026

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

For this third week of Lent, we first read the beautiful opening paragraph of St. Gregory of Nyssa's "On the Christian Mode of Life," followed by continuing our series of Lenten sermons by St. Pope Leo the Great. This week, we read his Sermon 41, which was delivered on February 21, 443. Many of his exhortations and warnings are particularly timely as we are now amidst another war in the Middle East. We bolster his observations with a powerful reading from one of J.R.R. Tolkien's letters toward the end of World War II about how Catholics should ponder their enemies in wartime.

May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!

Michael Dorn (Lt. Commander Worf) | Great Rosary Campaign: Star Trek Edition Mar 01, 2026

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

As a "Trekkie" (lover of Star Trek), we will be devoting several Great Rosary Campaigns to praying for the conversion of all remaining Star Trek cast members to the Catholic Faith.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign: Star Trek Edition, we are praying for the conversion of Michael Dorn, who played Lt. Commander Worf (everyone's favorite Klingon) on the various Enterprises in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and in "Deep Space Nine." Please join us in praying that he may "live long and prosper" unto eternal life.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for John Hudson Dilgen, a young man suffering from the horrible disease of Epidermolysis Bullosa, which causes the skin all over his body to break out into sores and wounds. John's moving story went viral several years ago, but it now sounds as if his health may be taking a turn for the worse. He has been an incredible example of suffering with dignity, grace, and hope. Let us pray, especially if he is nearing the end of his life, that he has all the graces necessary to spend eternity with Christ.

Elon Musk | Great Rosary Campaign: AI Edition Dec 21, 2025

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

For the next 5 weeks—going through Advent, Christmas, and heading into the New Year—we will be praying for the conversion of various tech leaders who are spearheading AI. We are also praying that, alongside any potential benefits that may come from AI, the evil that may result from it may be mitigated for the sake of the salvation of souls.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of Elon Musk, the CEO of Space X, Tesla, and X.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week, while we remain in Advent, is a 24 hour water fast (adjusted for your state in life).

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

St. Irenaeus of Lyon on Apostolic Succession: The Bulwark Against Heresy and Schism | Ep. 53 Dec 17, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

We are very excited to finally present this episode on St. Irenaeus of Lyon, the great 2nd century Church Father (one generation removed from the Apostles) who did so much to help me convert from protestantism to the Catholic Faith.

Specifically, we dive into everything he said in his great work, "Against Heresies" (written around AD 180) about the Catholic doctrine of Apostolic Succession, which says that the one true Church is governed by the successors of the Apostles, the bishops, and preeminently the successor of St. Peter, the Pope in Rome. St. Irenaeus even describes, in proto form, the infallibility of the Church, and how the Holy Spirit will always guide the Church into all truth through the successors of the Apostles.

Suffice it to say, St. Irenaeus's testimony was absolutely shocking to me as a protestant, and played a huge role in my conversion to the Catholic Faith. So much of what he said about the Church's teaching remains true in the Catholic Church to this day. Likewise, much that he said about heretics and schismatics is "disturbingly similar" to protestantism to this very day.

NOW is the Time to Give! | $50,000 Matching Gift for Holiday Almsgiving Dec 15, 2025

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

A generous patron has offered to match the gifts of new/increasing monthly patrons for a WHOLE YEAR (up to $50,000)!

Please consider us for your holiday almsgiving: https://eternalchristendom.com/become-a-patron/

A few months ago, we asked our audience to become monthly patrons for $10/month (or more, if they could) so we could finish the “Chapel” phase of our growth. Check out our vision in this video here: https://youtu.be/FLWgCYzcXlw?si=qaXhtxqfdbncehPY

I’m very grateful to report that since that time, we’ve gone from roughly 20% of our costs covered by monthly patrons, to about 60%. Thank you so very much!

Now, a generous patron has offered Eternal Christendom a $50,000 matching gift to help us get to 100%. For all new and increasing monthly patrons, this gift will match your new and/or increased giving for a whole year! So for example, if you begin or increase your monthly support by $50/month, this patron will match a year’s worth of your giving—so $50 times 12 months—which would be $600.

If there was ever a time for your monthly patronage to accomplish maximum impact, this is it!

Once this solid foundation is laid, Eternal Christendom will not only be sustainable in the long run, but well-prepared to begin building our next set of Masterpieces. Remember, all your gifts are tax-deductible.

A happy Advent, Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year!

Every Sunday, we will continue to announce a weekly call to pray and do penance for both non-Catholics and Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of faculty and students at "The Master's Seminary," which was founded by the well-known protestant (and oftentimes very anti-Catholic) pastor John MacArthur, who died earlier this year. May he rest in peace. We have heard from sources in the know that there has been increased interest in reading the Church Fathers among both faculty and students, and some have either decided to convert, or are close.

We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

King Charles III | Great Rosary Campaign Oct 22, 2025

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.

The Rosary is foremost among them.

Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

The Great Rosary Campaign was a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders.

Due to popular demand, and the inherent value of praying the Rosary and doing penance for conversions, the Great Rosary Campaign will remain a pillar of Eternal Christendom's weekly content. Every Sunday, we will continue to announce a weekly call to pray and do penance for both non-Catholics and Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for King Charles III, who this week will be publicly praying with Pope Leo XIV–the first time an English/British monarch has done so in 500 years.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.

The Rosary is foremost among them.

Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray and fast against the diabolical influence in our society, particularly against those tormented and deceived by transgender ideology.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is to fast as much as you can per your state in life. Our Lord said that some demons are only expelled by prayer with fasting (Mark 9:29). So in addition to the Rosary, we are asking everyone to take fasting far more seriously in light of the truly diabolical forces at work in our society.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

Charlie Kirk | Great Rosary Campaign Jul 27, 2025

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.

The Rosary is foremost among them.

Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of Charlie Kirk, the conservative political activist and founder of Turning Point USA.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, in light of his declining health, we are praying for the conversion of John MacArthur, the well-known evangelical pastor and preacher. Mr. MacArthur has stood up for many good things. I greatly admired him for much of my early life. But he has also gravely misrepresented the Catholic Faith, and taught people falsehoods about it.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour (Adoration) before the Blessed Eucharist, the communion we hope and pray for John MacArthur.

We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

Pope Leo XIV | Great Rosary Campaign May 11, 2025

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.

The Rosary is foremost among them.

Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion and strengthening of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific Catholics and non-Catholics, some of whom need to convert, or otherwise need our prayers.

THIS WEEK we are doing a special edition of the Great Rosary Campaign for our new Pope, Leo XIV. Please fervently pray the Rosary for him at this, the beginning of his pontificate.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the Holy Eucharist.

In honor of Pope Leo XIV, in this week's announcement we read a short sermon delivered by the first Pope Leo, St. Pope Leo the Great, on the first anniversary of his assumption of the papacy in AD 441. May it be our and Pope Leo XIV's prayer for his pontificate. You can read it online here: https://ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf212/npnf212.ii.v.ii.html

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

Keeping the Faith
Moral renovation
Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.

The Rosary is foremost among them.

Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign we are praying for Megan Basham, the well-known evangelical writer and journalist for the Daily Wire, not only for her conversion, but for the healing of her cancer.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is attending Daily Mass with Megan in your prayers.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

1. Keeping the Faith

2. Moral renovation

3. Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.

Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign we are praying for the famous protestant apologist, James White. Prior to my conversion, I turned to James and his debates with Catholics to hopefully bring me back from the edge. But instead, I saw that the Catholic arguments were simply stronger, and much of what I had learned from the Church and the Church Fathers was being misrepresented. So I have a particular desire that James come to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Faith!

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast (adjust as needed per your circumstances).

Keeping the Faith

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign we are praying for the former "mega-church" pastor Francis Chan, a well-known protestant leader who, the last several years, seems to be getting much closer to the Catholic Church thanks to the Eucharist.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is attending a Holy Hour (Adoration) before the Blessed Sacrament, and requesting the intercession of St. Francis de Sales, who was a great 16th century Saint who helped many protestants come back to the Church. May his intercession help Francis Chan do the same! Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular: 1. Keeping the Faith 2. Moral renovation 3. Conversions of non-Catholics The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

Today will be the one exception, since the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary happens to fall on a Monday this year. Originally, it was called the Feast of Our Lady of Victory, in commemoration of the victory of the naval forces of the Holy League against the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. St. Pope Pius V asked all the soldiers and leaders to pray the Rosary. On the day of the battle, which was hundreds of miles away, he received a revelation that the Catholic forces had won a great victory. He called for the Cardinals, priests, and officials to offer thanks to God that very day, despite the fact that he only received received final confirmation of the victory weeks later.
