  • The Catholic Cafe - All In Lent
    When it comes to practicing our Catholic faith, none of us should be aiming for the bottom. And yet, so many of us are most concerned with what the bare minimum the Church asks us to do. Perhaps the season of Lent is a good time to go all in on our faith, and to aim to be an all in Catholic.

  • Ave Maria in the Afternoon Full Hours - February 18, 2026 - Hour 2

    Segment 1: Lent is not the “Catholic Ramadan” This year, the Muslim observation of Ramadan falls during February and March, during the Catholic observation of Lent. To the untrained eye, these seasons are similar, containing times of fasting and reparation for sin. But Lent is much more than a “Catholic Ramadan.” Marcus has more.

    Segment 2: Why did Jesus Fast for 40 Days?

    Most people know that Lent lasts 40 days to unite with Jesus’ 40 days fasting in the desert. But why did Jesus fast for 40 days, instead of a different period of time? We’ll talk with Gary Michuta.

    Segment 3: Intention makes the Sacrifice (2 segments)

    What is the difference between thinking and praying? Between dieting and fasting? Between spending and almsgiving? David Bonagura joins us.

    Questions Covered:

    • 02:07 – I am no longer Catholic but I don’t really know why it’s taking me long to desire to come back.
    • 20:15 – Even if I were to accept 2 Macc. We could not accept the practice of praying for the dead because it was descriptive, not prescriptive.
    • 23:59 – I’m Orthodox. In the 7th Ecumenical Council it talks about the agreement with the patriarchs. I do see a Roman primacy but it feels like there’s something missing where Rome didn’t do things with the agreement of the other patriarchs.
    • 43:05 – How do you reconcile the contradiction on papal authority in Vatican 1 and Council of Constance?
    • 50:25 – A couple was struck down in Acts of the Apostles after holding back. That feels like it contradicts the message of Jesus and the gospel. Can you explain?
