Show notes

We welcome back Dr. Anne Hendershott to discuss her latest book, A Lamp in the Darkness: How Faithful Catholic Colleges Are Helping to Save the Church. It isn't always safe to assume that "Catholic colleges" are truly Catholic in practice. What warning signs might indicate the need for a closer look, and how should parents and prospective students evaluate educational institutions with higher education in a state of crisis?

LTACL: Summa Contra Traddies? (Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J.) 2/11/26 Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Is “shut up, he explained” really a strategy for parenting, teaching, or governing the Church? In the spirit of St. Thomas Aquinas, Father McTeigue imagines a Summa Contra Traddies that actually answers objections instead of dismissing them.

Nostalgia for Vatican II? (Fr. John Perricone) 2/10/26 Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

We welcome back Fr. John Perricone to discuss the upcoming meeting between the SSPX and the Vatican regarding the consecration of new Bishops. In many ways this is considered a referendum on the Second Vatican Council, and the SSPX hasn't started cheering yet. What are we to make of the mixed signals, and how should we remember Vatican II all these years later? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

Show notes

We welcome back Ryan McMaken, editor-in-chief at the Mises Institute, to examine whether the state is a friend or a foe of families today.

The Dubia of the Diocese of Charlotte (Fr. Gerald Murray) 2/3/26 Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

We welcome back canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray to take a closer look at happenings in the Diocese of Charlotte. With sweeping changes banning the use of communion rails and placing restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass, diocesan clergy have signed a dubia to the Holy See asking for clarification. What kind of outcome might we reasonably expect, and more curiously, what is the point of it all?
