Cardinal Grech has been appointed by Pope Francis to lead the ongoing synodal process, and in this video, Ralph comments on Cardinal Grech's call for a “rainbow church” and the interesting and alarming turn the synodal process has taken. Ralph also looks at the recent document, "Dignitas Infinita" (Infinite Dignity), which affirms Church teaching that abortion, euthanasia, gender theory, and other violations of human dignity, are gravely wrong. BUT the document nevertheless leaves the door open to continuing mischief in the area of homosexuality.

Ralph discusses the need to be aware of the spiritual battle we are in, how to stand in the midst of it, and the need to accept God's generous mercy and not presume upon it.

Ralph Martin considers the challenging and exciting exhortation to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. He explains what this means and how it can be realized in daily life. He makes a special mention of Mary’s “Yes” – not just her first yes, but her whole life of saying daily yeses to the will of God and how this can be an encouragement for us.

Fr. John Riccardo joins Ralph to look back on his decision to become a priest, and the beauty and power of encountering Jesus.

There’s a lot of controversy in the Church right now about issues concerning marriage and sexuality. Underlying these issues though is a deeper issue: Do we really believe that Sacred Scripture is the inspired, inerrant Word of God? In this video Ralph explains how the Church has always approached Sacred Scripture, including in its teachings on this in Vatican II. He explains why we’re foolish not to take the revealed Word of God with utmost seriousness. If we did, this would clarify a lot of the confusion and misguided efforts to accommodate our teachings to the corrupt contemporary culture.

Peter Herbeck joins Ralph to discuss true hope and how it can impact our lives.

Ralph briefly updates the current state of confusion concerning same-sex blessings and shares the amazingly clear and courageous insights of Archbishop Charles Chaput on the distressing situation.
