  • Time Is Running Out: A Final Warning to Pro-Life and Political Leaders (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 1/30/26
    Jan 30 2026

    1/30/26 - In our final episode, Jim and Father Stephen Imbarrato confront what may be the most critical question facing the pro-life movement today: Is the window rapidly closing for our leaders to stand unequivocally for Constitutional personhood for the preborn? With abortion embedded in law, compromise strategies dominating the political landscape, and another election cycle approaching, the pressure is mounting on figures like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis—as well as prominent pro-life leaders such as Lila Rose and Kristan Hawkins—to move beyond half-measures and publicly defend the self-evident truth that every human being is a person from conception. This conversation challenges the moral failures of incrementalism, exposes the danger of political calculation over principle, and calls Catholics and Christians to demand clarity, courage, and consistency from those who claim to lead the pro-life cause. History is being written now. Silence and delay are no longer neutral. The question remains: who will rise to meet this moment before it’s too late?

  • Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity (Dr. Carrie Gress) - 1/29/26
    Jan 29 2026

    1/29/26 - Jim sits down with author, philosopher, and scholar Dr. Carrie Gress to unpack her book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity from Sophia Institute Press, examining why modern feminist ideology—despite often appealing language about equality and empowerment—ultimately conflicts with the Christian understanding of the human person, vocation, marriage, and family. Drawing from history, philosophy, theology, and cultural analysis, Dr. Gress traces the roots of feminism, explaining how it reshaped ideas of womanhood, motherhood, sexuality, and power, and reveals why attempts to create a “Catholic feminism” fall short by substituting autonomy and resentment for truth, sacrifice, and love. The conversation also explores how feminist assumptions have quietly influenced Church life, education, and pastoral practice, why the ideology has become so persuasive even among believers, and how Catholics can respond with clarity and charity while remaining faithful to authentic Church teaching on dignity, equality, and true freedom. Dr. Gress challenges viewers to think critically about the cultural narratives shaping society today and invites them to rediscover the beauty and coherence of the Catholic vision for men and women rooted in Christ and ordered toward genuine human flourishing.

  • Blessed Jordan of Saxony: The Saint Who Rebuilt the Dominicans (Joanne Wright) - 1/28/26
    Jan 28 2026

    1/28/26 - When St. Dominic died in 1221, the future of the newly founded Dominican Order was far from secure—but the man elected to succeed him, Blessed Jordan of Saxony, would prove decisive in shaping its destiny. We’ll examine how Jordan, a brilliant Paris-trained theologian and gifted preacher, preserved Dominic’s original vision while leading the Order through unprecedented growth, expanding Dominican houses across France, Italy, Germany, and beyond. Renowned for his warmth, clarity, and personal holiness, Jordan drew countless vocations—including future saints—by uniting doctrinal precision with genuine pastoral charity, especially among university students. Through his letters, preaching missions, and careful formation of friars, he defended religious discipline against laxity, resisted worldly pressures, and ensured that truth, study, and preaching remained at the heart of Dominican life. His leadership demonstrates that lasting renewal in the Church comes not from novelty or compromise, but from fidelity to tradition, courage in leadership, and holiness lived publicly and persuasively.

  • I’m a Man, and Abortion Nearly Destroyed Me (Sean Corcoran) - 1/27/26
    Jan 27 2026

    1/27/26 - Abortion is often framed as a woman’s issue. In this raw and unfiltered Catholic testimony, Sean Corcoran, CEO of Men for Life, explains why that story is incomplete — and dangerously false. At 19 years old, Sean lost his first child to abortion. What followed wasn’t freedom or closure, but years of buried grief, guilt, and self-destruction. He speaks candidly about the silent damage abortion inflicts on men: the loss of fatherhood, the pressure to stay quiet, and the lie that men can simply “move on.” Sean shares how this unresolved wound contributed to addiction, instability, and spiritual collapse — and how God met him in that darkness with mercy, not condemnation. Through repentance, healing, and a return to the Catholic faith, Sean discovered that men are not bystanders in abortion, but participants who also need truth, responsibility, and redemption. Now a husband, father, adoptive father, and national pro-life leader, Sean challenges men to stop outsourcing abortion to women and start reclaiming their role as protectors of life. His testimony is a call to courage, accountability, and healing — for fathers, husbands, and sons who were never told this pain had a name.

  • They Said the Abortion Pill Was “Safe.” Here’s the Truth. (Pam Stenzel and Rachel Owen) - 1/26/26
    Jan 26 2026

    1/26/26 - As chemical abortion pills rapidly replace in-clinic procedures, abortion is being reframed as a private, at-home “solution” that often leaves women physically vulnerable, emotionally overwhelmed, and cut off from real medical care. We're joined by friend of the show and longtime pro-life advocate Pam Stenzel and Rachel Owen, founder of Infinite Worth, for an unfiltered discussion on the realities of chemical abortion and the urgent need to reach women who take it. Drawing from firsthand experience walking with women before and after abortion, Pam and Rachel expose the misleading claims of safety and empowerment used to promote abortion pills, explain how the abortion industry profits from women’s isolation, and address the real risks, trauma, and regret many women experience in silence. They'll also examine how pro-lifers, families, clergy, and healthcare professionals can respond with clarity, courage, and authentic compassion, offering truth without compromise and mercy without judgment to women who are searching for help, healing, and hope.

Duffy offers thoughtful, hard-won advice to anyone struggling with vocational discernment, sharing what helped him listen, wait, and finally say yes to the path God had prepared for him.

  • Boston Nativity Scandal: Priest Defies His Bishop, Police Remove Rosary-Praying Catholics, & More! (CJ Doyle) - 1/19/26
    Jan 19 2026

    1/19/26 - The Archdiocese of Boston finds itself once again at the center of national controversy following a Dedham parish’s decision to remove the figures of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph from its Nativity scene and replace them with a political sign reading “ICE WAS HERE,” implying the Holy Family would have been detained by federal immigration authorities. In this interview, C. J. Doyle, Executive Director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, joins us to walk through the unfolding scandal at Saint Susanna Parish, where Pastor Fr. Stephen Josoma refused a direct order from Archbishop Richard Henning to remove what the archdiocese itself called “divisive political messaging,” demanded dialogue instead of obedience, and was ultimately permitted to leave the display in place throughout the Christmas season. The situation escalated when a small group of faithful Catholics—some elderly—gathered quietly to pray the Rosary in reparation near the church, only to have police called on them by parish staff, while the politicized Nativity display remained untouched. Doyle examines what these incidents reveal about disobedience, sacrilege, unequal enforcement of Church discipline, media pressure from secular outlets, and the long-standing influence of Boston’s political and cultural establishment on ecclesiastical decision-making. The conversation also widens to cover other significant developments affecting the Catholic Church in the Boston area, as Doyle explains the recent efforts of the Catholic Action League to defend orthodoxy, protect the faithful, and hold Church leadership accountable amid ongoing cultural and institutional challenges.

  • Why Not Personhood Now? The Question the Pro-Life Movement Avoids (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 1/16/26
    Jan 16 2026

    1/16/26 - What does it really mean to defend life, and where, exactly, is the line being drawn? Jim Havens and Fr. Stephen Imbarrato offer a direct and unfiltered examination of the question many avoid asking: Why not personhood now? Moving beyond slogans and incremental talking points, they analyze specific clips and public statements from political leaders such as Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis alongside religious voices, including Pope Leo XIV, to expose how ambiguity, compromise, and strategic silence continue to shape the public conversation on abortion. Grounded in Catholic moral theology, natural law, and the Church’s consistent teaching on life from conception, the discussion presses into whether delayed personhood is a prudential strategy or a moral failure. With concrete examples, hard distinctions, and pastoral urgency, we challenge Catholics to examine whether defending the unborn “eventually” is compatible with proclaiming their full dignity now.
