October 23 Halloween Vs. All Saints Day
As the Church enters All Hallows’ Eve, All Saints, and All Souls, Charles and Fr. Lomnitzer reflect on the Christian roots of Halloween and how Catholics can keep it holy. They trace the feast from soul cakes and prayers for the dead to the present day, discuss real spiritual dangers of the occult, and share how one parish opened its doors for Eucharistic adoration on Halloween night. Turning to All Saints, they consider the universal call to holiness and the witness of saints like St. Isaac Jogues, St. Francis de Sales, and St. Thérèse, reminding us that the saints were real people who persevered.
Regarding All Souls Day, they speak plainly about the reality of heaven and hell, explain purgatory as God’s purifying mercy rather than a punishment,This episode provides a reflection on holiness, judgment, and our duty as Catholics to pray for the faithful departed this November

August 21 From Civil Lawyer to Canonist: Canon Law, Rights of the Faithful, and Defending our Priests.
In this episode we sit down with Dr. Michael J. Mazza, a civil and canon lawyer, husband, father, and independent advocate who has spent years defending the rights of priests and the faithful.
Dr. Mazza shares his remarkable journey from youth minister to federal securities lawyer, and finally to Rome to study canon law. Along the way he unpacks:
The profound differences between American civil law and the Church’s canonical tradition
The history of the Code of Canon Law and why the 1983 Code is considered the “last document of Vatican II”
The seven books of the Code and the often-overlooked rights and duties of the Christian faithful
Key canons every Catholic should know
The real state of due process for accused priests after the Dallas Charter — what is working, what is broken, and how the Church can do better
Practical advice for the faithful when a beloved priest is removed, and for Catholic lawyers seeking to serve the Church with integrity
Whether you are a priest, a concerned layperson, or simply someone who wants to understand how the Church’s law actually works, this conversation is filled with clarity, charity, and hard-won wisdom.
