Support the Glad Trad Podcast! I was blessed to attend the 2026 Church Life Africa Conference in Nigeria, which was also my first time in Africa. To be around so many young Catholics, and hear of their triumphs and problems was a deeply beautiful experience. Let me share my thoughts on the experience, and pray for the Church in Africa and for all those Christians who are martyred to this very day.

Support the Glad Trad Podcast! Ad Orientem is one of the most striking postures of the Mass, and it immediately conveys a sense of elevated worship and reverence. Why this beautiful and ancient practice has fallen into disuse God only knows, but there's hope! Dr. Peter Kwasniewski joins to discuss his new booklet, Ad Orientem, the Direction that Changes Everything, and why this simple reorientation does so much to restore the liturgy to focus on God.

But author Anna Kalinowska has just written a practical book on the Catholic philosophy on dress to help us reclaim this important hallmark of beauty, decency, and order. 'Clothed With Beauty' has easily become one of my favorite reads of the year, and I'm so excited to share this great conversation with all of you!

Support the Glad Trad Podcast! Many people entered the Catholic Church this Easter, including family members! It is wonderful to have so many new and vibrant Catholics, but it can often feel like the cradles are the old guard, and left behind! Not true Squad!

Support the Glad Trad Podcast! I may lose some folk here, but have an open mind and maybe pop a chill pill... The truth is that the SSPX plays a vital role in the Church, and as long as this crisis of confusion reigns, they will continue to have a role. That being said, we should pray for full communion, and be considerably more charitable to our fellow Catholics.  Thank you to our Patrons / Channel Members: Kate Elmini Eldridge Yorkshire Carol J Brenda Allor Allan Smith Kathryn Burks Emilio Perea Janet Weipert Patrick MacEgan Follow us @gladtradpodcast Video Episodes on Youtube
