    Should Catholics Practice This Buddhist Principle? (w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz)
    Sep 25 2025

Mike Schmitz introduces Thomas à Kempis’ classic, The Imitation of Christ and unpacks its central theme of detachment. He explains how Christian detachment differs from Buddhist detachment. Christian detachment is not indifference or rejection of the world, but rightly ordering our hearts. True detachment means recognizing every gift as belonging to God and being free to use them generously and in love.

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
