Advertise on podcast: A Catholic Take

October 6th, 2026 - Ten years after Amoris laetitia, and on the eve of Rome's summit marking its anniversary, Fr. Gerald Murray makes his case: it brought confusion where there had been clarity, and no Pope has the power to change what Christ taught.

September 25th, 2026 - As the story goes, Padre Pio said the inventor of refrigeration went to heaven, and when asked about the inventor of television, he pointed down. Fulton Sheen went on television and preached Christ to millions of Americans every week. The day after the Church beatified Sheen, author Mary O'Regan joins Joe to explain what Padre Pio saw coming in the media age, and who the men were that tried to shut him away. Plus: Dr. Anthony Stine on Blessed Fulton Sheen, Pope Leo XIV's first day in France, and the fight over the Seal of Confession in the United Kingdom.

September 23rd, 2026 - In 1931, the Holy See stripped Padre Pio of everything but a private Mass. No confessions, no public Mass, no letters. The man who fought hardest to get him back was a con man from Turin who walked into the friar's confessional wearing white gloves and walked out a different man. On the feast of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, Joe tells the true story of Emanuele Brunatto, the man Padre Pio called "my policeman." Plus: Oscar-shortlisted director Tod Polson on The 21, his animated film about the 21 martyrs of Libya. Links, Show Notes & More - https://thestationofthecross.com/act Email Us! [email protected]

September 22nd, 2026 - In 1967, Fulton Sheen wrote that Teilhard de Chardin would one day stand beside St. John of the Cross as "the spiritual genius of the twentieth century." Rome had warned the faithful about Teilhard's writings five years earlier. Two days before Sheen's beatification, Mark Lambert joins Joe to look at why so many traditional Catholics have soured on the man who taught America the Faith. Plus: Ellen Holmes Steeves-LeBlanc of Destined4This on her scenic journey back to the Faith, and why she wants every bishop and priest praying the Rosary out loud with their people.

September 18th, 2026 - Rome marks sixty years of Nostra Aetate by calling Catholics to dialogue with every religion. The same month, a priest who defends the social Kingship of Christ was pulled from his classroom. Dr. Anthony Stine joins Joe McClane.

September 17th, 2026 - Michael Matt says Rome just put the Vatican II problem in writing — so Joe reads him the paragraph where Rome says Christ is the one and only Redeemer. "A Journey of Hope," Nostra Aetate at 60, and the question underneath all of it: if there is one Redeemer, what is dialogue for?

September 16th, 2026 - Bishop Joseph Strickland says "I have not moved" — and on the day that Rome published a note asking Catholics to "esteem" other religions, he joins us to do what his new letter proposes: examine Vatican II in the light of Tradition, document by document. Nostra Aetate at 60, Archbishop Lefebvre, and the question the Vatican's new text has to answer: if Christ is the only Redeemer, what is dialogue for?

September 15th, 2026 - Timothy Flanders publicly defended the SSPX for years. Today he tells us why he has retracted and why, "in principle," he can no longer recommend anyone attend an SSPX chapel. Plus, the Battle of Vienna: September 12, 1683 — the victory that gave the Church the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary. Links, Show Notes & More - https://thestationofthecross.com/act Email Us!

September 14th, 2026 - On November 3, Virginians will vote on a Constitutional Amendment creating a "fundamental right to reproductive freedom," including abortion. Mike Koeniger walks us through what the amendment's strict-scrutiny standard does to Virginia's existing parental-consent and third-trimester laws, why the Virginia Catholic Conference calls it extreme, and what the bishops are asking of Catholics before the voting deadline. Then, Fr. Carlos Martins explains the ordinary, un-dramatic ways in which Catholics give the enemy a foothold — the curiosity, the media, the unconfessed habit, the thing done "just for fun" — and then the harder question: when someone says they hear a voice, how does the Church know whether it is God, an illness, or a demon?
