The Flagship Show comes back for with a special interview with Colleen Eldracher, the organizer of the YAG in Cincinnati. We discuss a bit about the history of the YAG, then dive into what it is today and why (if you're a young adult) you'll love it.

Sometimes we can be tempted to feel ashamed of our Catholic external representations, whether it’s the Sign of the Cross, the Scapular, Rosary beads etc. Sometimes we are tempted to believe that it’s only what is inside of us, that counts. However, we should be Catholic in our lives internally and externally. Bishop Daniel Dolan expands on this and discusses various devotions. He also explains how...

His Excellency, Bishop Daniel Dolan, pastor of St. Gertrude the Great Catholic Church in West Chester, Ohio educates on the Holy Ghost and the Holy Name of Jesus, devotions we can have, and their origins and history. The devil shrinks from the devout invocation of the Holy Name even as he inspires every kind of blasphemy. How this wicked language offends the majesty of God - what better work of re...

I will grant them contrition so perfect, that their very sins will be changed, in my sight, into jewels of precious gold – one of the promises of The Holy Face devotion. This devotion is for reparation of blasphemies and the profanation of Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation: the two principle sins Our Lord told Sister Mary of Saint Pierre that offend God and provoke His just anger. His Excellency...

Father Anthony Cekada once again returns to Trad Controversies to dispel the myths and legends surrounding Archbishop Thuc. What comes to light is the history and picture of a man quite different from the one presented by the Society of Pius V. Incorporated with the historical discussion and flowing from that, Father reviews the principles of Canon Law and Sacramental Theology which govern the dec...

Over the past 25+ years, the Society of Pius V has maintained the same position of refusing the sacraments to Catholics who have received sacraments from clergy either from or associated with the line of traditional bishops stemming from Archbishop Thuc. While holding a position over such a period of time is commendable if correct, a false position is not proven true by the length of time held nor...

The next chapter in Royo Marín's Theology of Christian Perfection is on Models of Perfection. Jesus Christ is the only way. No one can go to the Father except through Him, for there has been given to us no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. Mary is, in a word, the shortest and most secure path to Christ. God has wished that Mary should be so intimately associated with the divine pla...

This episode continues with Royo Marín's Theology of Christian Perfection on Mysticism and Christian Perfection. "The essential constitutive of mysticism is the actuation of the gifts of the Holy Ghost in the divine or superhuman manner which ordinarily produces a passive experience of God or of His divine activity in the soul." Mysticism enters into the normal development of sanctifying grace. Jo...

In this episode, we continue with the chapter, Christian Perfection, in Royo Marín's Theology of Christian Perfection. All Christians are obliged to aspire to Christian perfection. We say all Christians in order to signify that the obligation to aspire to perfection is not restricted to priests and religious. "Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect." Matthew 5:48 "But ac...

Who was the man who wrote the classic apologetic ”Orthodoxy” and the world-renowned Fr. Brown series? This incredibly prolific writer and complete thinker did not leave any subject untouched. Surrounded by the errors of Modernism swarming around him, he used his pen to defend common sense, the common man, and, most importantly, the family. He foresaw how the trends and evils of his day namely, fem...
