Fr. José Miguel Marqués Campo, Brian McCall, and Louie Verrecchio continue their conversation on the crisis in the Church. In this part II (of 3 parts) they delve into the nature of papal authority and discuss the extent of obedience required to be "in union with the Supreme Pontiff." This part lays the direct foundations for the consideration of the question of sedevacantism in Part III. The opinions expressed by each participant are their own and and not to be attributed to Catholic Family News or AKA Catholic. 

 Join Fr. José Miguel Marqués Campo, Brian McCall, and Louie Verrecchio for a detailed conversation on the nature of the crisis in the Church. In this first of three parts of their discussion, the participants discuss the nature and causes of the current crisis in the Church and lay the foundations for the later discussion about Vatican II and the post-Conciliar Papacy, including the question of whether or not it is possible for a legitimate Pope to do the things that Francis is doing. The opinions expressed by each participant are their own and and not to be attributed to Catholic Family News or AKA Catholic.

Catholic Family News interviews three participants in the miracle of Front Royal, VA. When pandemic lock-downs shut down every option for Mass and the Sacraments, God intervened to answer the plea for priests coming ascending to heaven from Front Royal. You will be inspired and edified by listening to their story. God will never be outdone in generosity. That truth is reconfirmed in this tale of Divine Providence. No longer in a horse corral or fair ground, Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel
