The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

For the next 5 weeks—going through Advent, Christmas, and heading into the New Year—we will be praying for the conversion of various tech leaders who are spearheading AI. We are also praying that, alongside any potential benefits that may come from AI, the evil that may result from it may be mitigated for the sake of the salvation of souls.

THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of the CEO of Meta (Facebook), Mark Zuckerberg

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week, while we remain in Advent, is a 24 hour water fast (adjusted for your state in life).

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.

Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:

1. Keeping the Faith
2. Moral renovation
3. Conversions of non-Catholics

The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.

First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).

Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).

Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.

Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.

Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, our next "Papal Snapshot," we cover the famous Law Code of Justinian and what it says about the authority of the Pope as revealed in an exchange of letters between Emperor Justinian and Pope John II. The Code of Justinian had an enormous impact on the development of the western legal tradition, making its strong affirmation of papal authority all the more notable.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

It seems a lot has changed since Vatican II (1962-65)—so much so that many prospective and actual converts to the Catholic Faith are confused and concerned. Has the Church contradicted Herself? Has She rejected Her own tradition? Has She taught error? Has She trashed Her own liturgy? How are we to make sense of the changes that have taken place since the 1960's?

This episode is the first of a series of conversations that seek to honestly address these pressing questions. Our two guests are Dr. Peter Kwasniewski and Dr. Larry Chapp—two Christian gentlemen who are highly educated, orthodox, and lived just prior to and after the fallout of Vatican II. They agree and disagree on a great deal, but they are both loyal sons of the Church, and grounded in the Great Tradition of Christendom. Look for Part 2 in early 2026.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode--our first diving into American history--we explore the first national Thanksgiving proclaimed by President George Washington, its biblical roots, the profoundly Christian colonial tradition from which it came, and how many aspects of it were fully aligned with the Catholic Faith.

Particularly for those in the United States, a very Happy Thanksgiving!

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we complete our dive into the writings of the Church Father who "Red Pilled" me on the Catholic Church while I was still a protestant: St. Ignatius of Antioch. If you haven't seen it, start with Part 1 first, which is Episode 44: https://youtu.be/CK1_22AjdIQ

St. Ignatius of Antioch was ordained by the Apostles, and barely 70 years after Christ's Ascension wrote astoundingly Catholic things about: the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, apostolic succession, the authority of the priesthood, the Christian altar, the necessity of unity, the greater authority of the Roman Church, and even the very name of the one true Church: the "Catholic Church." Today we are publishing Part 2 of this two-part series in honor of my patron saint, who did so much to "Red Pill" me on the Catholic Church.
