This is the forty seventh episode of Along The Way. Each one of them has been very special to me. Dave Imhof and I have been fortunate to have great guests, and I am eternally grateful to every one of them. It is because of them that this show is growing in popularity.

I have to say however this casual conversation to date is one of my favorite. My guest was so easy to talk to. I am searching for words to describe this interview, but they escape me. Please give this a listen as Father Anthony Federico shares his journey from his darkest moment with vulnerability and trust to where he is today.

Is there a difference between Traditional Catholic and Catholic tradition? Is Catholic tradition the anchor or the sail of our faith? These are question I have been asking myself for years. I was never satisfied with the answers I got from those that represented Traditional Catholics I had met along my way. So when I hear that so many so many young people are drawn to the Traditional Latin mass, I was intrigued. In this episode I am joined by David Dashiell, the editor of the new book “Ever Ancient Ever New” to discuss the real meaning of the Traditional Latin Mass.

I was recently told about a new podcast by my good friend Pat Gervais. In this episode titled “A Casual Conversation, With a Good Man” I talk with my fellow podcaster and host of “Talking With a Good Man”, Jay Goodman. We talk about what makes a good man and a lot more.

From the beginning the Catholic Church has taught than the Eucharist is the body blood soul and divinity of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ. Sadly, the belief in that truth is on the decline and more and more people including Catholics are seeing the Eucharist as only a symbol. Nothing could be further from the truth. Believing in that falsehood has led to a declining in reverence for what is the summit of Catholicism, Communion with God by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. Joining me along the way is one of the authors of the book “Behold It Is I” Fr. George Elliot. In this episode we discuss the truth about the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist using scripture, tradition and science. In a world that has become more and more empirical, this book is very timely.

In Part 1

We are all called at some level to defend our faith. Only through ones continuing education of the faith an active prayer life and God’s grace is salvation possible. These times we live in challenge our beliefs and it is hard to find places that teach the truth that is Jesus Christ. Fortunately, there is a place to go. My guest in this episode is the founder of the website The Catholic Truth .com, an amazing resource of Catholic apologetics, Bryan Mercier.

In Part 2

Fr. Larry Barile Delivers a talk at the Blessed McGivney Pilgrimage Center in New Haven Connecticut. Fr. Larry talks about the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

We have had a number of conversations along the way about Fr. McGivney. He is an amazing figure in American Catholic history. We have talked about his character as a man, his work ethic as a priest and the steps of his continuing journey towards sainthood. If Father McGivney was to be known for only one thing it would be his contribution of the Knights of Columbus. Through the lives of over two million members the founder’s legacy lives on today. Joining me along the way to talk about Father McGivney’s legacy is the Connecticut State Deputy for the Knights of Columbus and my friend Matt McGrath.

Hey lets face it 2021 was a continuation of 2020. However Down The Hall Dave and Dave Imhof continue to have some really great guests. In this episode both Fr. Larry Barile and Trace "Big Guns " Chamberlain sit in to discuss the take aways from this past years shows.

I talk about going to the wilderness of prayer. Jesus did, many times in scripture. He went to the desert and fasted and prayed for forty days. He left crowds to find that needed solitude and he encouraged his disciples to do the same. It is important that we remove ourselves from the demands of the world to engage ourselves in spiritual exercises of a kind.

Sitting in as Co-host of this episode is Deacon Ben LoCosto. Our Guest is Mark Gadzik. Join us as we discuss the importance of a  good retreat.

We all have a little bit of Job in us. We have all suffered loss, we have all been afraid at times, but my guest in this episode has never lost sight of what was truly important. His infectious sense of gratitude is amazing, and his sense of humor bears witness to the joy that overflows from his loving heart. Joining me along the way is my longtime friend Jayvee Mateo.

I am honored to introduce you to a guy that I have called my friend for several years now. He comes from a great family. His father and mother are the rocks of his support system. But he has made the leaps of faith into God’s loving arms and has been an example to many of us on how to truly trust in God’s providence. Joining me along the way is the director of marketing for TAN books Noah Vertefeuille.
