Prayer is a discipline, and it is vital to the life of a Catholic who takes themselves and the faith seriously. In this epode Fr. Dugandzic talks about some dimensions of a prayerful discipline, and we discuss some tips to help you in your prayer life.

Tithing isn't just "giving money", it's a spiritual sacrifice—a sacrificial offering out of a duty to be good stewards of what God has given us, and a responsibility to support the Church in her mission on earth. It's something we often forget as Catholics. Fr. Dugandzic talks about this sacrificial act, and why it's so very important for the Church, and for ourselves.

It’s the anniversary of Humanae Vitae, and the opening of NFP Awareness Week, Fr. Dugandzic talks about NFP, contraception; how it differs from unnatural contraception, from a moral theological perspective, and why we need to let the sexual act be as God created it.

Truth is sometimes betrayed by the language we use. Words have meaning, and they have power. So precision in our use of words—particularly in Catholicism—is indispensable. When we change words, we change meaning, and we reject the Truth of what those words signify. And that’s how error becomes normative! Misusing, or replacing the CORRECT words—regarding the Liturgy, theology, and more—is how the Truth and order of the Catholic faith become slowly disfigured.

Many years ago Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict spoke of the need to become a smaller church. He said this as he watched the post-Vatican II explosion that has left our pews empty. In this context, this episode covers evangelization and how to revitalize the faithful, without compromising the Truth.

What’s the real difference between “Free Will” and “Free Choice”? Do we really have “freedom of will”? Also in this conversation we get down to the facts about what Authority of Conscience does, and does not mean, according to Catholic teaching

Modesty isn't just about good taste, it's about living our intrinsic dignity, when meeting God at Mass, and when interacting with our fellow man. It isn't just a matter of concealing skin and body parts, it's a matter of revealing the person, in all its dignity

Discussing fidelity to Truth, our relationship to God, the nature of gender as God created it, and the “trojan horse” that has made its way into the Catholic Church. This is a continuation of our conversation about gender in episode 10.

Discussing gender from the standpoint of mankind before the fall, using St. John Paul II's wisdom in Theology of the Body. Fr. Dugandzic is in his element here, as he bypasses the pedestrian arguments of the secular mind, and brings Catholic wisdom to the table instead. This was a very deep episode, so be ready to listen to it more than once if you really want to unpack its wisdom

Sometimes Catholics get a little confused about indulgences; owing to some confusion stemming from Martin Luther and the protestant rebellion, as well as some excessive scrupulosity. We discuss indulgences, praying for the souls in Purgatory, the graces of confession from a correct perspective of balance and Catholic teaching.
