We have all felt it: God isn't answering my prayers. But guess what. He IS—if we'd just open our eyes to see it.

17: When You Knock and the Door Won’t Open

"A Manifesto of the New Traditionalism", published on the Gaudium et Spes 22 blog on December 22 (https://gaudiumetspes22.com/blog/a-manifesto-of-the-new-traditionalism), was co-authored by Sean Domencic, Larry Chapp, and Marc Barnes. Written "Catholic Worker perspective but with an eye toward the broader Church," it addresses four major topics: the nature of the Church, the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas as "a foundation for the valuable 'New Theologies'", how the "natural law and the preferential option for the poor have been united in Catholic Social Teaching", and how the "necessary Liturgical Renewal was begun, betrayed, and left unaccomplished".
Dr. Chapp recently spoke with Catholic World Report editor Carl E. Olson and Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press, about the manifesto.

What does the Bible really say about the birth of Jesus? How did the celebration of Christmas become associated with things like Santa Claus and decorated trees? In "The True Meaning of Christmas: The Birth of Jesus and the Origins of the Season" (https://bit.ly/3De1LjI) biblical scholar Michael Patrick Barber offers an inspiring look at the Bible’s accounts of Jesus’ birth and the development of the Christmas season.

Are you a priest or discerning a vocation to the priesthood or know somebody who is discerning? Then this is the book for you—“Distributed Like Bread”  (pre-order for release at 3.2.26) https://ignatius.com/distributed-like-bread-dlbp/?searchid=0&search_query=distributed

Hans Urs von Balthasar is well known for his great contributions to theology, but few know of his practical thoughts on priesthood and discernment. Therefore, in today’s episode, Dr. Jonathan Ciraulo and Andrew Petiprin discuss Fr. Balthasar and how he integrated his scholarly life and his priestly vocation. Dr. Ciraulo points out that Fr. Balthasar never received any formal education in theology beyond his time at the seminar and he sought to remain a student chaplain instead of an academic position. This kept him grounded in his theology and uniquely fit to guide priests and those in the process of discernment. 

Dr. Ciraulo highlights Fr. Balthasar’s humility, his intellectual curiosity, and his openness to God. They also discuss Balthasar’s thoughts on priestly celibacy and donatism—the heresy that claims that validity of the sacraments depends on the virtue of the priest. This insightful discussion and corresponding book “Distributed Like Bread” will truly help give all people a greater appreciation for this supernatural vocation.

Father Fessio highlights why it is so important for us to reread profound, perennial, and permanent things, most especially the Scriptures.

88: Why Reread Things?

In our busy schedules, it is often hard to find time to read a good book, and sometimes it is even harder to know which book to read. In his new book <a href='https://ignatius.com/classic-literature-made-simple-clmsp/'>Classic Literature Made Simple</a>, Joseph Pearce makes this decision easier by outlining fifty great works of literature that every person should read. Beginning in the ancient world and progressing all the way up to the present, Joseph provides a trusted list of books that are not only good aesthetically, but also morally.
In this episode, Joseph talks with the host Andrew Petiprin about his reasoning behind his choices and even admits why certain works were excluded.

Joseph Pearce: Fifty Great Books to Read Before You Die

In this episode, Ignatius Press founder Fr. Joseph Fessio talks to his friend and fellow Jesuit, Fr. Robert McTeigue, about Fr. McTeigue’s new book, “Christendom Lost and Found: Meditations for a Post Post-Christian Era” (<a href='http://bit.ly/3Rl25FY'>http://bit.ly/3Rl25FY</a> ).
 
The book is a kind of a war journal, written between 2020 and 2021 during “the COVID Interruption” and the violent outbursts in cities across America. Witnessing cultural collapse in every direction, Fr. McTeigue offers meditations on what it will take to build Christ-centered cultures in our time—what must be retrieved and what must be renewed.
Fr. McTeigue can be heard Monday through Friday at 5pm Eastern on his radio show “The Catholic Current”; listen on your favorite podcast platform or online: <a href='https://thestationofthecross.com/programs/the-catholic-current/'>https://thestationofthecross.com/programs/the-catholic-current/</a>

We need to go back to the most basic question:  Why does anything exist at all?

68: WHY?

"Matchmaking" shows abound. Teenagers wept over Taylor Swift's last breakup. Why? Ancient Hebrew secret: relation is everything—even for God Himself.

Dr. John Bruchalski is a Catholic OB/GYN who used to perform abortions, believing he was providing compassionate care for women in crisis. A terrible misjudgment in the delivery room revealed to him the humanity of the unborn child, and he has since committed his life to providing women—and the children in their wombs—with truly loving, life-affirming medical care.
In this episode, Dr. Bruchalski details the events that led up to his conversion to pro-life medicine and his recommitment to his Catholic Faith. He also discusses the “hard cases”—including rape, incest, and fetal abnormalities—that many believe justify legal abortion. Dr. Bruchalski’s new book, “Two Patients: My Conversion from Abortion to Life-Affirming Medicine” (https://bit.ly/3DAho8s) is a memoir of his experiences. It is also a plea that advocates on both sides of the abortion debate see the humanity of all God’s children—from the unborn baby to misguided medical professionals.

Abortion and the “hard cases”: Dr. John Bruchalski on abortion and compassionate medicine

“Lead, kindly light.” These words of St. John Henry Newman have long resonated with Christians who strive always to place their trust in Christ. The saint’s words are perhaps particularly dear to those whose Christian journey has taken them through the Anglican Communion and into the Catholic Church, as Newman’s did.
One such pilgrim is Fr. Dwight Longenecker, whose path from Protestant fundamentalism, through the Church of England, and finally to the Catholic priesthood is chronicled in the new book, <a href='https://ignatius.com/there-and-back-again-tbap/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=There+and+Back+Again&amp;utm_id=There+and+Back+Again'>“There and Back Again,”</a> now available from Ignatius Press.
In this episode, our host Andrew Petiprin speaks with Fr. Longenecker about the twists and turns of his spiritual journey, which took him around the world and back again in pursuit of God’s will and eternal Truth.

When Fr. Paul Mankowski, SJ died in September 2020, friends, colleagues, and long-time readers mourned the loss of the biting wit and keen insight that characterized his writing, much of which was published under the pseudonym “Diogenes.”
 
In this episode, two men who knew and admired Fr. Mankowski—his fellow Jesuit, Fr. Joseph Fessio, and his editor at Catholic World Report and later Catholic World News, Philip F. Lawler—remember their friend, whose writing spanned decades and covered Church news, art and culture, politics, and more.
 
A sampling of Fr. Mankowski’s writings, most of which he published as Diogenes, has been collected in the new book, “Diogenes Unveiled: A Paul Mankowski Collection,” edited by Lawler and available at Ignatius.com: http://bit.ly/3X6UuNR

Join us as Fr. Donald Haggerty sits down with Andrew Petiprin to discuss the dark forces that seek to undermine and destroy the Church. In Fr. Haggerty’s new book, The Hour of Testing, he not only locates our era in its historical context, but he also discusses how we should spiritually live in our own time. His relevant insights and depth of thought are manifest in the concentrated reflections offered both in this book and in his podcast.
In this episode, Fr. Haggerty and Andrew discuss the rise of doctrinal ambiguity, the cultural indifference to God, and the Second Coming. As we approach a new era in the Church, Fr. Haggerty’s practical reflections will help any Catholic navigate the coming years in the Church’s history.

Fr. Donald Haggerty: Are Dark Days Ahead for the Church?

Exorcisms, demonic possession, occult practices…these aren’t just the stuff of horror movies—they are real (if dramatic) reminders of the existence of the devil and his presence in the world. But as gripping as stories of the supernatural are, it can be easy to forget that the seductive activities of the devil are often found in far more mundane circumstances: the temptations to pride, lust, greed, and other sins that we all experience in our daily lives. In his book CHRIST VERSUS SATAN IN OUR DAILY LIVES: THE COSMIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, spiritual writer and philosopher Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., tackles the topic of recognizing and overcoming spiritual evil. His focus is the human heart. His goal: our spiritual and moral transformation, which leads to true peace and genuine happiness.

Many Christians, whether they are aware of it or not, have mistaken notions about the mystery of atonement—particularly the role God the Father plays in Christ’s saving work on the Cross. In her new book “Atonement: Soundings in Biblical, Trinitarian, and Spiritual Theology” (https://bit.ly/3yaUrGb) Margaret Turek, professor of theology at St. Patrick’s Seminary and University, hopes to dispel these misconceptions and present readers with a clear illumination of the wholly gratuitous, radically forgiving, passionate and powerful nature of God's redeeming love for mankind. In this episode, Dr. Turek speaks with Mark Brumley about her book, and about some of the spiritual insights the be gleaned from contemplating the mystery of Christ’s atonement.

Like many Christians, Matthew Wiseman’s family was in search of the original or purest form of Christianity, which was most faithful to the way that the apostles and early Christians lived and practiced the faith. Originally Baptists, they discovered the Hebrew Roots movement, and they lived for many years in strict adherence to Torah. However, after studying the Bible and the Church fathers, Matthew converted to Anglicanism and eventually to Catholicism. Only in the Catholic Church did he find the one faith and the fullness of the truth that he had been searching for.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin talks with Matthew Wiseman about his new book Two Jeusalems and the key moments of Matthew’s conversion story. Their conversation highlights the beauty of our Catholic faith, which safeguards the teachings of Christ and sacred traditions that date back to ancient Israel.

Violence, nudity, bad language. These elements are often enough for Catholic viewers to dismiss movies and their potential impact entirely. But is it possible for people of faith to watch, enjoy, and critique the latest Hollywood offerings—without losing their souls? Douglas Beaumont thinks so, and explains why and how in his book, “The Message Behind the Movie, Reboot: Engaging Film without Disengaging Faith” (https://bit.ly/3xaWU37). In this episode, Beaumont talks with Carl E. Olson, editor of <a href='https://www.catholicworldreport.com/'>Catholic World Report</a>, about the book, as well as how their mutual experience of converting to Catholicism from Evangelical Protestantism shaped how they watch and enjoy movies today.

Pope Francis has just named Fr. Kapaun a venerable making this American hero and medal of honor winner one step closer to sainthood. Today we celebrate this great occasion by sitting down with Roy Wenzl, author of “The Miracle of Father Kapaun.” Roy has done extensive research on Father Kapaun and interviewed many of the POWs that Father served with both in the war and in the prison camp. Father’s riveting story will surely inspire you as we continue to pray that one day Father Kapaun will be recognized as a saint of the Catholic Church.

Francis X. Maier has been immersed in the life of the Church at different levels for decades. As senior aide to Archbishop Charles Chaput for more than twenty years, and as editor-in-chief of the National Catholic Register for many years before that, he got to know the leaders and major players in the American Church in both professional and personal settings.
When he sat down to write a book offering a snapshot of Catholic life in the U.S., he had many contacts in high places to whom he could reach out. But they wouldn’t be able to tell the whole story.
In writing his new book <a href='https://ignatius.com/true-confessions-tch/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=True+Confessions&amp;utm_id=True+Confessions'>True Confessions: Voices of Faith from a Life in the Church</a>, Maier conducted more than one hundred candid interviews with individuals living and working in the Church. These included bishops and priests as well as laymen and women serving in various leadership roles. But they also included husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, parish priests and religious sisters living their vocations in low-profile ways: faithfully carrying out their professional duties, loving their families, and building up their local communities.
In this episode, host Andrew Petiprin speaks with Maier about what he learned about the American Church while conducting these interviews, and about how our current situation—colored as it is by scandals, political division, and secularism—contains many sources of profound hope.

About the author: Sue Ellen Browder is a freelance writer who has appeared on Oprah, the Today Show, and hundreds of radio talk shows. Her work for Cosmopolitan, New Woman, Woman’s Day, and other magazines has given her a lifetime of experience with the women’s movement as it unfolded in the media, both on the public stage and behind the scenes.
About the book: In Sex and the Catholic Feminist, Browder challenges the notion that you can't be a feminist and believe in God. She echoes John Paul II's call for Catholics to embody a "new feminism," a radical new view of women's dignity. Her goal in this book is to "follow one golden thread of feminism in America—the pro-life thread—to show why it has been ignored by the media and left out of public conversation for fifty years." For Browder, the pro-life movement is about more than abortion and contraception; it's about loving and respecting all human life.
While tracing the history of feminism in America, Browder discovered at the core of these various feminist movements a search for personhood. Where do women place their identity and find their fulfillment? Browder ultimately concludes that in our noisy, consumerist society, placing one's identity anywhere other than in God will prove disappointing and unfulfilling.
"My hope is that some thoughts presented here will spark a new conversation and help heal one of the deepest political divisions in our nation." — Sue Ellen Browder

Why do we ask God to “lead us not into temptation” in the Our Father? Father Fessio explains that this statement has its roots in the Old Testament and that “temptation” actually refers to a place. . .

90: Lead Us Not Into Temptation

Recently, Fr. Fessio was deceived by A.I. and warns people about trusting these programs.

116: Should You Trust A.I.?

State surveillance. Artificial intelligence. Advanced reproductive technology. Many of the elements Peco Gaskovski depicts dramatically in his new novel <a href='https://ignatius.com/exogenesis-exp/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=Exogenesis&amp;utm_id=Exogenesis'>Exogenesis</a> seem to be only a step or two ahead of where we are in the world today. But Gaskovski’s dystopian vision of a society with mass sterilizations of undesirable populations, an intricate social credit system managed by AI, and omnipresent government surveillance is, ultimately, not without hope.
In this episode, host Andrew Petiprin speaks with Gaskovski, an author and neuropsychologist, about Exogenesis and the colliding forces in society, culture, and science today that inspired it. While the world of Exogenesis is bleak in many ways, Gaskovski’s worldview is not. With gripping action and complicated characters, the book strikes a balance between realism about human nature in the face of technological temptations and social pressure, and hope that truth and beauty can survive amid persecution and suffering.

The university is uniquely Catholic in its origin, and yet currently, higher level education on elite campuses is a “red-hot mess,” according to George Weigel. In this episode, Andrew Petiprin sits down with George Weigel to discuss academia and the intellectual life, not simply as a theoretical enterprise left for those who dwell in an ivory tower, but as driver of culture and social life. They discuss the role of the Church in academia, the scholarly legacy of Pope St. John Paul II, the importance fighting the culture war, and the troubles facing the Western civilization.
These topics are also the focus of Weigel’s most recent book “Pomp, Circumstance, and Unsolicited Advice: Commencement Addresses and University Lectures,” where he tells students that true academic learning is carrying on the great Catholic tradition.
