  • Addressing the FAKE Videos of Me (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

    Addressing the FAKE Videos of Me (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)
    Nov 13 2025
    There have been numerous fake videos of Fr. Mike circulating online: clips of him supposedly asking for money for Lourdes, delivering sermons he never gave, and appearing on accounts that aren’t actually his. These are all scams — and a concerning reminder of how easy it is to be deceived by AI-generated content. Fr. Mike addresses these scams, shares tips for spotting fake content, and offers his perspective on artificial intelligence. If you come across any AI profiles or questionable videos, please send the link(s) to support@ascensionpress.com so our team can work on getting them removed. Thank you for helping us protect Fr. Mike's name, image, and likeness!

  • Sin, Emotions and Virtue Explained (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

    Sin, Emotions and Virtue Explained (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)
    Nov 6 2025
    Can your feelings be sinful? Fr. Mike Schmitz reminds us that "sin and virtue do not reside in the emotions, they reside in the will." Our emotions, whether positive or negative, don’t make us good or bad; what matters is how we respond to them. Use your emotions to choose and pursue the good!

  • Do NOT Receive Communion Until You’ve Seen This (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)

    Do NOT Receive Communion Until You’ve Seen This (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)
    Oct 30 2025
    "Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment* on himself." - 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 Fr. Mike explains that receiving Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin, is itself a mortal sin. However, he also advises that if you’re genuinely uncertain about whether you’re in a state of mortal sin, you should go ahead and receive Communion. The reason is that true mortal sin requires three conditions: Grave matter Full knowledge Deliberate consent If you’re honestly unsure, the third condition isn’t fully met — meaning it can’t be a mortal sin.

Are we excused from Mass if you have a chronic disease? I have many painful diseases. I was taught we are excused yet I feel so guilty. Your thoughts.?

I am finally reading through the whole bible! No starting and then stopping at Leviticus! I have always wanted and tried but I couldn't stay focused and follow/understand what was happening. This is the greatest podcast of all time! Father Mike you are incredible. Your breakdown and explanations at the end of each episode are literally teaching me God's word and what the bible is saying. I've always felt so inadequate and like such a Christian wanna-be I guess. I went to a private Chistian school K-8 and then a private catholic high school. I know many bible stories and lessons but I never truly knew or understood who was writing/saying these things, how they came to be part of the story or why. I have told so many people about this podcast. I am praying that one day in the "nearer" future my teenage sons will take my advice and also listen to this podcast. You don't have to be Catholic to listen to this podcast - I'm not. If you have ever wanted to just learn and try to UNDERSTAND what is being said then this is the best resource ever. I did not discover this podcast until about February, and then I wasn't listening every day, but that's ok - I was able to binge listen (which I loved!) and I am now all caught up and on the same page. I get giddy when it pops up on my phone that today's episode is up! I will be re-listening to this podcast for years. Thank you Fr. Mike for this incredible thing you are doing - things are shifiting, my eyes are opening, I am FINALLY learning and understanding. Thank you for praying for me, I AM praying for you.

Finally Doing It!!

Each one is one topic. Short and to the point. And Fr. Mike Schmitz does a great job at explaining the "why" it matters or "why" it makes sense or "why" it is important, etc. I am a struggling, new Catholic and these podcasts are helping greatly.

These podcasts are great - short but to the point
