He is a chaplain at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California, and focuses his scholarly efforts on Renaissance rhetoric and Polynesian ethnohistory.

    8/24/26 - Fr. Christopher Mahar - Is Tolerance of Evil, Evil by Its Nature?

    Father Christopher Mahar earned a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy from Providence College in 2000 and subsequently completed his Bachelor's degree in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome in 2003. He was ordained a deacon in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome in 2003 and a priest in the Diocese of Providence in 2004. He currently serves as Pastor at St. Augustine Church in Providence, Rhode Island.  In Today's Show: I have heard that tolerance of evil is evil by its nature, because tolerance will eventually silence the good. Is that true? What exactly did Saint Augustine mean when he said: "Make me chaste but not yet"? How does Catholicism distinguish legitimate development of doctrine from simply preserving later traditions because they are old? What may change in the Church, and what may not? Someone at Mass received his host, and also a couple of other hosts and brought them to 2 other people in Mass. Is that okay? And more.

    8/21/26 - Fr. Michael Copenhagen - At What Point Are We Assigned Our Guardian Angel?

    Fr. Michael Copenhagen is a Melkite (Eastern Catholic) priest, husband, and father at St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Melkite Catholic Church in Gates, New York. He holds a Bachelor's of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. In Today's Show: Our Lord tells us to forgive. How much can we forgive without becoming a doormat? What is the difference between being gullible and being forgiving? What commandment does ingratitude towards God break? If a criminal dies right after baptism, and doesn't commit any other sins, will they enter directly into heaven or spend some time in purgatory? What's Father Copenhagen's advice on the epidemic of MGTOW men going their own way and avoiding marriage and children? They claim they want to live in peace and tranquility without getting fleeced in divorce court. ​​What’s up with the Oriental Orthodox Churches? They seem suspicious… are their practices acceptable? It seems Kabbalistic. A priest in town has a very thick accent that makes his sermon hard to understand. His sermons sound very Lutheran, saying that we should only pray to Jesus and to not pray to the saints or the rosary. Should I say something about this? I want to write my thesis on some aspect of St. John Chrysostom’s thought, but I can’t think of anything. I know that in his time there was no systematic theology, so I wanted to ask for your opinion to give me some ideas. I read in one book that your Guardian Angel is assigned at the moment of conception, while in another book I read that it happens at the moment of birth. In the latter case, the book said the baby is under the protection of the mother's Guardian Angel from conception to birth. So which is correct?

    8/20/26 - Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP - Am I Being Guided By the Holy Spirit or My Guardian Angel?

    Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP, serves as Parochial Vicar at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Littleton (Denver), Colorado. He was ordained in May of 2021. Click here for more information on Bosco Ministries.  In Today's Show: I’ve been invited to my niece's gay wedding. What should I do? Why is it permissible for women to cover their heads in Mass (even encouraged in the instance of a veil) but not for men? When the priest administers communion to the sisters, he holds the chalice to them and they take it out.  Is this permissible?  Should she say something to the priest? Background:  the priest is new and has never had a parish before. How do we know the difference between when the Holy Spirit is guiding us vs our Guardian Angel? And more.

    8/19/26 - Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I. - What is Baptism of Desire?

    Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I., served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000. In Today's Show: Is it okay if I tune out the priest and choose to pray a rosary during the homily if it’s a priest I have difficulty understanding or a priest that doesn’t necessarily give a good homily? If everyone has at least one guardian angel, and God created all of them at once, and we know that during the first war a third of them fell, what happened when it came to guardian angels? ​​Does a parent's sincere intent to have a baby baptized constitute baptism by desire for the baby? ​​Will my oppressors who took pleasure in harming me without ever repenting be surely punished?

    8/17/26 - Fr. John Brancich, FSSP - Do Most People Go To Hell?

    Fr. John Brancich, FSSP, is the pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained into the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in 2004. In Today's Show: Do you believe that most people go to Hell? I was listening to a podcast with Fr. Chad Ripperger, and when asked that question, he said: “According to the saints, they do.” Do you know which saints he is referring to? Does anyone know what happened to the sign that was above Jesus when he was on the cross? If it still exists, would it be considered a relic? Does the relic stone always match the namesake of the church? What about in the case of a church named after Our Lady? ​​My son is getting married in the Catholic Church, but is not having a full Mass. Is this valid? And more.

    8/14/26 - Fr. Paul Born - Are Pro-Abortion Catholic Politicians Formally Excommunicated?

    Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Today's Show: ​​​​ The governor of Massachusetts just signed a bill legalizing abortion until birth. Since she is a self-proclaimed Catholic, will she be formally excommunicated? When may priests use the Eucharistic Prayers for various needs? I've heard that it's not to be used on Sunday. Can you please offer advice for someone living in chronic constant pain how to keep hope and not feel that God has left you behind? Father, countless Flock surveillance cameras have been placed all around the US to create “safer communities.” Many, including myself, believe it is instead creating a surveillance state where our privacy is being violated. Would it be wrong to block or obstruct the view of one of these cameras without damaging them? And more.
