The assessments of other seemingly harmless movies will also prove very eye-opening. From these ladies’ insightful analyses, it is established that some of these problems are unbelievably grave and exceedingly disturbing. However, this doesn't mean we have to all literally throw out the DVD player because there is some suitable material available. For those who want to utilize this medium we p

**PARENTAL WARNING: Parts of this episode are unsuitable for children** The devil is trying to snatch the souls of our children. He poisons their minds and hearts in any way possible, targeting them at the youngest possible age. One of his greatest instruments of corruption in our times is the entertainment industry, including TV, movies, computer games and mainstream popular music. This series focuses mainly on the film industry to aid parents in discerning good from evil in productions marketed primarily to children. Last month, guests Louise and Jacinta, totally exploded the myth about Disney productions being safe children’s fare. For today’s episode, they braved Pixar’s, “Brave,” turned “Inside Out” inside out and “knocked for a six” Disney’s,“Big Hero 6” – so none of these come out smelling like roses, either! Children’s entertainment, in general, is also discussed whilst these Mums share some invaluable insights and suggestions. Episode Notes: Children’s cartoons help usher in the return of Sodom

**PARENTAL WARNING: Parts of this episode are unsuitable for children** Navigating our families through the dangerous waters of modern mainstream media, in particular TV and movies, is an ongoing challenge, as any parent of young children knows. In this series our hostess, Theresa, welcomes back Catholic Mums, Louise and Jacinta, who outline some basic principles and guidelines to aid parents in managing this form of entertainment. The general features of the overall field of mainstream children's movies and TV are also discussed. For starters, two recent children's Disney movies are analysed in-depth to demonstrate some of the key issues to be on guard for. The myth that “Disney is wholesome family entertainment” is thoroughly dispelled. Make no mistake; there is an enormous battle taking place – and your children's souls are the casualties of this war! It is said that the first rule of warfare is “know thine enemy” - so listen up and arm yourselves. Episode Notes: Facing the facts about Disney’s sodom

"The Work of Reparation" – Defenders of the Holy Name Devotions – which are expressions of true devotion - are the foundation of every Catholic home. In this show, Veronica explains why this particular devotion is so critical for our current crisis, and how it came into being in its current form. The Holy Face devotion is the union, and representation, of all the devotions pertaining to the Sacred Humanity of Christ. Therefore, it is an especial antidote for the disfigurement of the human image in these times, as well as the making of the human image into an idol. Did you know that there was a public miracle associated with Saint Veronica’s veil in 1849, in Saint Peter’s Basilica, when Our Lord’s Face became very distinct, that lasted for three hours? Did you know that this devotion has received three Papal Approbations, and Indulgences granted by Pope Leo XIII, during the 1800’s? Did you know this “Work of Reparation,” being an integral part of the Holy Face devotion, was said by Our Lord in private rev

Saint Hildegard Von Bingen writes in Causae et Curae: “It happens that certain men suffer diverse illnesses. This comes from the phlegm which is superabundant within them. For if man had remained in paradise, he would not have had the flegmata within his body, from which many evils proceed, but his flesh would have been whole and without dark humor [livor]. However, because he consented to evil and relinquished good, he was made into a likeness of the earth, which produces good and useful herbs, as well as bad and useless ones, and which has in itself both good and evil moistures.” In this episode of The Catholic Home we welcome Jacinta and Stephen Mocko of Eureka Wellness, Australia, who share some of their specialized knowledge as to which herbs are good and useful for various ailments. There is no need to be victim to the “mainstream medical paradigm” with all its harmful side-effects given God has provided us a wealth of plants for our food and our medicine! As an introduction to the subject of herbal

In Part 1 we heard all about two Australians' "theological travels" which eventually led them into the true fold and into a mission locality to boot. Wow! What an adventure that was! The exciting journey continues as Phil explains some of the amazing resources his family uses regularly to fulfill the various duties in the Catholic home and how his wife accepted the challenge to take their children out of the "Recognize and Resist" school in order to home-school them, and thus provide a proper Catholic education. Louise's family do things a little bit differently, and she has some delightful insights and ideas of how to make the home vibrant, and one's family flourish, in the fullness of our beautiful and rich Faith! Louise even puts the hostess, Theresa, on the spot and assumes the interviewer's role towards the end. There is talk about the pioneering days in setting up the Australian Catholic mission, some amusing incidents that go part and parcel with such an endeavour - and German chocolate even gets a m

In our times, many mission countries are without permanent parishes and priests since the enemies of the Christ have torn down most of the external support structures of His One, True Church. Rest assured, however, that God has provided us a whole new host of wonderful supports in their place! Despite the grim world-situation, we faithful Catholics really do have very many things with which to be very grateful, and we definitely haven't been left as orphans! Coming to you from Australia, this episode of The Catholic Home will fascinate you as two Australian Catholics share their conversion stories. Their journeys eventually resulted in them also abandoning the seemingly "traditional" external support structures they were in, thrusting themselves apparently, "into the wilderness". You will also be inspired and encouraged as they share the various ways by which they have successfully managed to establish their homes and families as Catholic, through and through, without any of the support systems of a parish c

Tune in and discover that you are not only not alone, there are wonderful Catholic things you can do to remedy the situation. In this episode, host Wendy Haught is joined by two guests from Mount St. Michael’s parish in Spokane, Washington, Lorrie Ochoa and Tiffany Longo. These charming ladies explain all about the Confraternity of Christian Mothers, the helps it gives to its members and how to start one in your own parish. Then, Lorrie and Tiffany share how they came to host annual events for St. Patrick and St. Joseph and how those events grew and changed, honoring the saints while helping to build a Catholic culture and create opportunities for developing more Catholic friendships. Bubbling with enthusiasm, encouragement, and womanly wisdom, this episode of The Catholic Home is sure to brighten your day and generate many idea

Lent is the perfect time to add some simple yet tasty recipes to your meatless repertoire. So grab your apron; pop on your chef's hat and listen as guests Justin Soeder and Raquel Garcia De Alba share recipes and cooking advice with host Wendy Haught in this second episode of The Catholic Home. Justin's enthusiasm for seafood practically vibrates the airwaves as he guides listeners through the steps of preparing one of his favorite salmon dishes, then quickly moves on to his amazing Kung Pao shrimp. But he doesn't stop there. He delivers shopping and cooking tips as well, and even takes a little detour to explain why Tilapia is not his favorite fish. Raquel, basking in the glow of old Mexico, where family get-togethers and baptism parties abound, and street vendors daily ply their wares, brings that comforting warmth to the show as she shares her aunt's Caribbean Black Beans and Rice recipe as well as her grandmother's Capirotada recipe, a Mexican bread pudding traditionally served on Good Friday.

In this first episode on Pascendi Dominici Gregis of Pope St Pius X, His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn joins us to provide a commentary on this most significant of Papal encyclicals. Written to expose and condemn the doctrines of the modernists at the start of the 20th century, this encyclical is the defining document of this great Pope Saint’s life and perhaps the most important document to have proceeded from the Vatican in hundreds of years. It served as an alarm call and a condemnation of those most pernicious adversaries of the Church who seek to utterly overthrow Christianity itself. This show is the first of a total of 3 shows to be recorded on Pascendi. There is much more to follow.

The show follows on from the previous show and particularly expounds the Church’s solicitude for the poor. It rounds off and completes all of the subjects discussed in Part 1.

In this first of two episodes, His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn discusses the first half of this great encyclical on the use of capital and labour. Written to counter the rise of socialism all over Europe and in the United States, Rerum Novarum reads like a text book in moral theology for both employers and employees alike. The show discusses the encyclical in both its historical and contemporary context and goes some way to explain the governmental and economic system under which the world currently toils.

"Liberty" is the theme of the encyclical covered in this month's episode of Popes Against the Modern Errors. This is a masterful teaching encyclical by His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII, this longest of the writings we have covered this season. His Holiness explains the definition of liberty, its relationship to good and evil, the relation of the intellect and the will to liberty, and all the implications that follow not just for good society and government, but the importance of the relationship of Church and State for a harmonious society. Host Stephen Heiner walks through the encyclical with Bishop Donald Sanborn, the regular guest for this series, and relates the timeless points of this work to the timely questions of today.

Do today's Catholics really have a proper sense of “right government”? While the secular world of today and the Vatican II sect in the last 50 years have done much to destroy order, the sense and reasons behind governance, and the proper and Catholic attitude of obedience, all such issues were addressed in 1881 by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII in Diuturnum Illud. Listen as His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn guides listeners through this masterful encyclical, discussing the roles and duties of rulers, the Church’s positions on forms of government and elections, where power truly lies (hint: not with the people), a reflection on the Holy Roman Empire, and a reminder that the Church has no ambitions to rule temporally, only to ensure temporal safety and happiness en route to the most important goal of this life: eternal life with God.

After a bit of absence due to a sickness, His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn returns to the airwaves to discuss the next encyclical in this series, His Holiness Pope Pius IX's Quanta Cura and the accompanying Syllabus of Errors. Bishop Sanborn begins by discussing the reign of the Pope in broad strokes and then sets the encyclical within a historical context. He also goes on to discuss its infallibility before digging into the text. Join host Stephen Heiner as he walks through this important Catholic document with the Bishop and goes over a number of condemned propositions...propositions accepted by both the world and the Novus Ordo Sect. Topics covered include: So-called "Liberty of Conscience" and VII's Dignitatis Humanae The need and the right for the Church to have property and temporal power Evolution of dogma Indifferentism The Absolute State The necessity for the Roman Pontiff to reconcile himself to "progress" among other things. Enjoy His Excellency's timely and relevant commentary on timeless

When asked to name 2-3 of his "favorite" encyclicals to be covered this season, with an exception for Pascendi, Bishop Sanborn named Mirari Vos. Coincidentally, it is also the first encyclical we will examine this season. In writing Mirari Vos, Pope Gregory XVI was dealing with the ongoing fallout of the French Revolution and the "restorations" that had happened superficially, but had not gone down to the root. He addresses many errors prevalent at the time that are simply part of what we live with today: so-called "freedom of conscience," "freedom of the press," and the error of indifferentism: that any religion can save you.

New for Season 4 of Restoration Radio, Stephen Heiner will sit down with His Excellency, Bishop Donald Sanborn and discuss a number of encyclicals from the time of Pope Gregory XVI all the way to Pope Pius XII. While not intended to be a comprehensive analysis of each encyclical, nevertheless each episode will examine important points of each encyclical both within the context in which they were written and what pertains to us in our present time. But before we can examine these encyclicals, in the introductory episode the Bishop explains to us how encyclicals originated, to what degree(s) they are considered infallible, and who should study them (hint: you!). While this series will be subscriber-only, meaning, a la carte downloads will not be available, this episode, as is the case with all "zero" origin episodes, is free as a way of previewing the show for the season.

Restoration Radio is excited to welcome back His Excellency, Bishop Daniel Dolan, to Devotions with Bishop Dolan from Season 2. In this first episode back on Season 4, His Excellency starts out by exploring and defining what is a true devotion. Building upon this solid definition, Bishop Dolan provides an overview of some of the general aspects of devotions. Guided by His Excellency, the show delves into the heart of what motive a Catholic should have when praying a devotion. To help listeners avoid the various pitfalls, His Excellency clearly lays out the guiding principles and misconceptions to be wary of when beginning a devotion. Once a clear idea of true devotion is enunciated upon, His Excellency shares with the listeners common devotions he has discovered in his travels to Mexico among the various regions and villages. In Mexico, the people, contrary to the United States, have continued the many public devotions which existed before Vatican II. It is fascinating to hear how much of the Mexican public

On this month's episode of Clerical Conversations, we follow-up on the discussions from last month about the "Je suis Charlie", phenomenon, and focus more closely on Mohammedanism and the most recent incarnation of the Islamist jihad in I.S.I.S. Looking at the history and teachings of Islam, His Lordship and Father will instruct the listener on the false notions preached by the Novus Ordo sect and modern society that "we all worship the same god" and that Islam is a "religion of peace". Especially in following the history is Islam, we will see that the so-called "extremists" of I.S.I.S. are actually the true followers of Mohammed. Join host Nicholas Wansbutter as he discusses these topics with His Lordship, Bishop Daniel Dolan and Father Anthony Cekada of St. Gertrude the Great Catholic Church in West Chester, Ohio on this month’s episode of Clerical Conversations.
