What Pope Benedict tried to warn us about... we’re living through today.

For over 2,000 years, the Church’s liturgy developed slowly and organically — until the 1960s, when everything changed. In this first episode of our new Liturgy Series with Fr. Dan Yasinski, we explore what the Second Vatican Council actually taught about the liturgy, and what was implemented afterward.

Pope Benedict XVI once wrote that the crisis in the Church today is largely due to the disintegration of the liturgy.

Was he right?

Did the Church go too far after Vatican II?

And how does the way we worship shape what we believe?

Join Ken Yasinski and Fr. Dan Yasinski as they discuss the heart of the Church’s worship, the meaning of true liturgical reform, and why the renewal of the Church always begins at the altar.

It’s hard to believe—it’s been 11 years since we uploaded our very first Catholic YouTube video. Looking back, we had no idea what we were doing! But through every awkward moment, small beginning, and leap of faith, God’s grace (and your prayers) have carried this ministry forward.

In our newest video, we’re taking a lighthearted (and humbling!) look back at where it all began — and we couldn’t help but think of you, because you’ve been part of this journey.

Today is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary — a celebration born from a miraculous victory in history. When Christian forces faced impossible odds, believers prayed the Rosary… and heaven answered.

In this new episode, Fr. Penna joins us to share the incredible story of that victory — how faith, prayer, and Our Lady’s intercession changed the course of history.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the death penalty has once again become a hot topic. Many Catholics are asking: Can we, in good conscience, support it?

In this week’s video, I sit down with Fr. Cristino to unpack the Church’s teaching on the death penalty — from Scripture and tradition, through St. John Paul II, to Pope Francis today.

This is not just about politics. It’s about justice, mercy, and the dignity of every human life.

Charlie Kirk’s shocking death has left many Catholics asking deeper questions. In this conversation, Fr. Cristino shares his first reaction, the cultural dangers behind this tragedy, and why the Catholic faith is the only true antidote to the rising division and violence in our world.

Was Charlie Kirk on the path toward the Catholic Church before his death? What do his final words about the Blessed Virgin Mary reveal? And what warning should Catholics take seriously in these troubled times?

The passing of Charlie Kirk has sparked strong reactions across our culture. In this video, we take a closer look at the shocking way some people have responded, and why celebrating the loss of any human life is deeply troubling.

Charlie Kirk was known for his bold defense of truth, family, and freedom. His message reached countless people, and even in hostile environments, he stood firm in presenting his convictions with clarity. But now, as disturbing celebrations emerge in response to his death, we are forced to confront a bigger question: What does this reveal about our society?

This week I had the joy of sitting down with my own brother, Father Dan, for his very first appearance on our channel. He opened up about his powerful vocation story—how he discerned between marriage and the priesthood, and the moment he realized he had one life to live, and must live it for the Lord.

The recent Minnesota school shooting was nothing less than diabolical—children attacked while at prayer. While nothing compares to the tragedy of lives lost, what followed was another wound: media voices mocking prayer.

In this week’s new episode, we look at Bishop Barron’s strong response. He reminds us that prayer is not “doing nothing.” Rather, it is lifting our hearts to God while also moving us to act with courage and faith.

I invite you to listen to this important reflection. In times of tragedy, when the world mocks faith, it’s consoling to hear a bishop rise up and defend it.

In Canada, euthanasia (MAiD) has shockingly become one of the leading causes of death—proof of how far society has lost its reason. But this loss isn’t random… it’s the hidden damage of sin.

In our latest episode, I share the 3 deadly effects of sin: how it darkens the mind, weakens the will, and enslaves the heart. Understanding these truths is vital if we want to remain faithful in a world that calls evil good and good evil.
