RomeCast 11: Reclaiming St. Therese of Lisieux
If things fall apart at the human level of the Church, we actually need St. Therese of Lisieux more than any other modern saint. Was St. Therese just the "cute" saint of French rhetoric, or was she the secret weapon of light God gave us to face the dark warnings of Fatima? We consider her post-humous intercession in an exorcism that happened in 1928 in Iowa and consider how confidence in the goodness of God is the virtue between the vices of Pelagianism and Quietism. As St. Augustine wrote, "God provides the wind; man must raise the sail."

On Commendation of the Soul and Expiration
For probably over 1000 years, these are the last prayers any Catholic would hear at the moment of death, prayed by the priest after both extreme unction and the Apostolic Pardon. These prayers are known as the Commendation of the Soul, the Litany for the Dying, The Three Prayers for Mercy and the Prayers at the moment of Expiration.

RomeCast 10: People Pleasing
"You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments."—Ex 20:5-6

RomeCast 9: How Do Catholics Maintain Courage in the Public Forum?
How do Catholics navigate conscience and public courage in a time of doctrinal confusion? In today's RomeCast, we look at some high profile Catholics like Jim Gaffigan, Joseph Sciambra and Justice Thomas, as well as a pro-life priest in Colorado. We also recall the price of telling the truth, as seen in the recently deceased Natacha Jaitt.

RomeCast 8: The Theology of the Ascension
In today's podcast we discuss Ascension Thursday, 40 days after Easter. “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed."—Dan 7:13-14

RomeCast 7: The Left Changes Their Vocab on Abortion
Andromeda discusses the changing language of an ABC article linked here where a woman describes her 15 abortions in 16 years. Far from condemning her, we notice on this podcast how often the term "baby" is now employed by non pro-life Americans, a significant shift in the vocabulary of today. In this podcast, I also suggest a book called "Forbidden Grief: The Unspoken Pain of Abortion." Andromeda indicates Bernard Nathanson's movie about a live abortion called "Eclipse of Reason" (caution: very violent content.) The music bumpers and above photo are both from the national Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe, Marytown.
