Why Are So Many People Leaving The Catholic Church? | The Catholic Talk Show 

my Mom was Catholic and my Dad Protestant. Brought up 3 Catholic girls..I married a Christian Scientist and we brought up 2 Catholic girls. This year is our 50th and as a gift to me he is going to take classes toward becoming Catholic!

I was received into the church last Saturday (alongside 12 other adults praise God). I'm very grateful for this show and you guys' ministry that really helped me as I made my way into the church!

I was a non-practicing Catholic for many years, but in 1998 when my grandfather was dying, I became very aware that I wasn’t only helping tend to my dying grandfather, who was in him and with him, but I was also tending to Christ suffering and dying on the cross too. That was the beginning of my journey. Jesus found his lost sheep and brought me back home to the Catholic Church. 🙏🏻

I also had a small problem with a priest. I was married in the church to my first (abusive) husband. Got divorced a year later. Tried to annul my Church wedding and the Church asked me for a lot of money… I did not have. Then, went to church and spoke to the priest. He was rude and told me not to get close to “his” altar. Wow! I spoke with another Priest and he was very kind; remind me how much God loves me. Years later, met my now husband, annulled the first wedding and remarried in the Catholic Church. I love God dearly, I love the Catholic church and here I’m, serving the Lord as much as I possible can! Love you guys 🙏🏼

I’m a catechist in my parish, which is run by a very holy priest. I’m a convert so I learned our face through reading. I’m using the Baltimore Catechism with the kids who are 6th and 7th grade. I’m teaching them how to read the Bible and to pray the Rosary. I pray these kids stay in the Church.

As a confirmation teacher, I believe a part of the reason why teenagers fall away is a lack of good catechism. My parish uses the Chosen and Decision Point curriculum, and I found often times I had to spruce up the material or make it more applicable to teenagers. It’s filled with a lot of lofty words and cliché phrases that teenagers can’t grasp and take to heart. I think catechesis should dig a lot deeper into the history of the Catholic Church and the history of its traditions. If we are the apostolic church, why are we not teaching our youngsters exactly what the apostles and those that came after them did to worship Jesus and establish His church? Then kids could understand the purpose of going to Mass and its meaning.

I left the Catholic Church 34 yrs ago. I came back this past Easter. I felt something missing in my life. Im so glad I came back. I feel home again. I’ve even started saying the Rosary again. ❤😊🙏🙌💙✝️🇺🇸🥰💒. I enjoy your shows.

I am new to your RU-vid channel. I find it insightful and useful. I just wanted to share, I had left the church for many years, for many different reasons I chose to leave, and I was determined not to return. Over a year and a half ago, a life changing event occurred in my life and the lives of my immediate family. I would have never imagined this devastating event that left my heart shattered would be the reason for my return to the church but most importantly back to Jesus and Mother Mary. Thank you for this episode. It's been an inspirational topic.

I left the Catholic church at the age of 17 at the inception of what we called "guitar masses," Vatican II changes to the liturgy,,,the whole nine yards, the dumbed down language, silly music, taking communion in the hands, communion rails gone, altars turned around, and the faithful flapping their arms. I became a member of the Episcopal Church. I recently learned about TLM and watched Latin masses while locked down for Covid. I discovered there's an FSSP priest in a not too distant (small) city, I FLEW to meet this Pastor, who is brilliant, kind, understanding and truly holy. He welcomed me with open arms. Anyway, his sermons are inspiring. The Holy Mass is brilliant. I will never look back. Thank you, Jesus.

From a former protestant that just entered the Church this year: One problem is the blender of frog parts that is modernism, relativism, and accepting the values of this age - a la critical theory and the "enlightenment" and wrapping those and politics in a Catholic bow and expecting people to accept this in lieu of objective truth. In the words of Saint Paul, if you preach Christ crucified, people will be convicted. There is a lot of confusion because too many things other than Christ crucified are the subjects of conversation. Some of the topics I had to endure in RCIA really highlighted this. People are afraid of offending the sensitivities of pagans. Less environmentalism, conversations about walls, married clergy, and politics. More Christ crucified.

I just came back to Catholicism and I brought my husband with me. We’re currently in RCIA classes and feel thankful because we have a good team teaching us and our priest is a very good priest also. I left initially because there was so much judgement against everything and everyone and it didn’t nourish my soul. It smacked of the Pharisees of Jesus time and He was not supportive of how they acted and treated people. I like that the church is making efforts to change a bit. The reason I came back was because I did really miss the Eucharist and other sacraments. I do wish the homily was longer. Lol. I enjoyed the hour long sermon in Baptist church but I also felt like a lot was lacking because the Eucharist was only given occasionally and it just wasn’t given the same value that is is given in the Catholic Church. Anyway, your show really helped my husband and myself(I’m stubborn) to join/rejoin the church. Thank you!

I was baptaized, had first communion, and married in the church, but then my husband has social anxiety and doesn't like to go to Mass because of the crowd. And so we just didn't go. I have started going on again alone but it's hard. I asked my husband to come back with me, and he said he would consider it, so hopefully we are on the right track again. God has been trying to bring me back to the church for years and I am so glad I listened.

I returned after 20 years. listening to EWTN Journey home was a key factor in my returning. I left not knowing how to defend the faith. I believe emphasizing and teaching our belief in the Eucharist is so beautiful. It can’t compare to the symbol belief. But many Catholics believe it’s a symbol. It’s easy to leave if you don’t understand the true Eucharist which only the Catholic and Orthodox churches have.

I quit going to Mass regularly after confirmation and high school. I lived outside of the Faith for around 11 years then I returned slowly as I got married in the Church then had my first child. My biggest step back was when my husband went through RCIA between our first and second child. When I look back, I would say I always knew God was real and true and I would always be a Catholic. I never have had any desire to explore other religions or Protestant congregations, but looking back I remember being uncomfortable with the music, the felt banners and extraordinary ministers. I love music, but I have never enjoyed modern music used in Mass. It is such a turn off and often made me uncomfortable. It repulsed me. When you are poorly Catechized, don’t really understand the real presence, and don’t know what you are really leaving behind, it’s easy to let the poor visuals, the bad music, the uncomfortable hand-holding, etc. drive you away. For me personally, I need the quiet, beauty, appreciation of the sacred, and very sacred music to help me see and feel God, especially when catechesis is lacking. Thanks be to God, I’m a faithful, homeschooling Catholic mom of seven kids with a mission from God to instill a solid Catholic faith in my kids. Pray for me and other parents that desire to do the same for the glory of God’s kingdom!

When my granddaughter passed away, my priest hugged me and it meant so much to me that he really cared!!!

I think responsibility falls on both the church and the parishioners to maintain attendance. When the whole thing about priest abusing children came about and how the church handled it by simply transferring the abusing priest to other parishes was the dealbreaker for the majority of parishioners. It’s like a relationship between two people. The effort has to go both ways for a relationship to work. How can we have faith in the church when all this child abuse is swept under the rug? That trust needs to be built again and that will take a long time.

My TLM parish is growing exponentially

People are leaving the church because those who call themselves Catholic live the same and have the same lifestyle and moral as those who don’t. It is on all of us Catholics. Not just the magisterium.

Great show. We raised 8 children from 1979. Weakly catechized! My wife a convert in 1978. All 8 kept their Catholic faith. Two are religious sisters. Lots to share. Not always sure of the impact. Will never quit even when alone. At times reaching out as are our children. Lots of excuses I could have used to leave Catholicism. 🙏🤓💪💗. I do find it smelling of evil with the attack/suppresion on TLM.

Several generations of young people are not being taught the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Parents and schools are to blame.

I'm getting baptized soon I'm so excited. The catholic faith is me I am nothing without God!

My parish in Asia is growing !

My daughter and I are so excited and blessed, being confirmed this week, we left the Protestant church 12 years ago.

You guys have always been a beautiful example of Catholic MEN but the moments of vulnerability and tears are incredible. God bless you all!

I think this talk has been the most passionate and the most inspirational talk you guys have given. It was amazing and all so true. You guys are doing such an amazing work for our Church. Thank you!

Huge fan of the show. I learn something in every episode. My eyes watered when Father Pagano cried. I just wanted to hug him. Keep up the great work.

Well done, men. I left the church for 42 years. (19-61 years old) The church didn't leave me. I had my petty excuses why not to go back. I knelt at the cross and held my nail. Then a priest in a 300 member church helped me make everything right and I'm back, married in church and a productive member in my church. I just joined the Knights of Columbus and understand about what y'all said about understanding! God works in mysterious ways. God bless y'all.

I think this is one of my fav episodes! Though there’s too many now! Keith Nester conversion story was awesome too. I’ve commented recently, I’m so happy I found your channel. As a 35 yr old woman who recently came back to the church, I can’t tell you how much things you said in this episode mean to me.😭 My husband and I married in the Catholic Church 6 yrs ago, at Saint Mary’s Basilica in Phx AZ. (The first time I chose to go back to my faith, prior to leaving it.) I’ll never forget how happy we were to get married as Catholics. I do remember feeling apprehensive of the required classes to get married. Though we quickly discovered how beautiful they were. They drew us closer in bond; they helped us understand truly what the sacrament of marriage is and how to prepare for any hard times that may come. We also discovered a large amount of younger Catholics, whom I was surprised to see! As I had been out of my faith for so long. Sadly, as we celebrated and prepared to be married, the ridicule and opinions we received from friends for marrying in the church was heartbreaking. I wish I had reached out to my local priest or younger people in the faith to talk to. Instead, the year after marrying in the church, I again left it. So many reasons…the abuse in the church was big. Not believing in why we go to confession any more. So much around me condemning organized religion. Fast fwd years later, the Lord drew me back. I’ve been on a journey again back to the church. Not just to it, but fully committed into becoming a devout Catholic. I could write so much on how beautiful it’s been…but mostly I want to say that finding channels like this, amazing priests like Fr. Pagano and Fr. Mike Schmitz, along with a few others who passionately talk about our faith and (explain) why we believe what we believe, has changed everything for me. I have a better understanding of our faith, than I ever did as a child. I’ve also discovered again, a large amount of younger Catholics. Something that hit me recently, is seeing many younger people enter the faith for the first time. Hearing them wish they had grown up Catholic like I did, being baptized as a baby and confirmed makes me so thankful and emotional that I was. It’s just unbelievably beautiful. Life changing. Thank you So much for all the passion and education you All give in this channel. I love the episodes.❤️🙏🏼✝️

Go to a TLM and see what’s keeping people in the faith and growing. It’s not that complicated.

Absolutely great show- probably one of the lad's most powerful ones. I wish this could be shown to Church leadership because they hit the nail on the head repeatedly. Great work.

I thank you guys for being one of God's instruments that led me to my reversion back to Catholicism. God Bless!

Stuff they talk about here is stuff that’s been rattling in my head for years, but if I ever talked about it my classmates and coworkers would have found me crazy, or worse. Thank you so much for doing this video this week, it helped me put my thoughts into words and ideas on what can be done

As a fellow guido I was tearing up. The most powerful episode I've seen from you guys. Keep doing what you're doing, you're a powerful witness of Christ and His Church and we need that so bad as you guys pointed out so well, God bless

This episode is ONE of THE BEST dialogues I have heard about the state of our Catholic Faith and the different ways we can overcome the challenges and bring (lukewarm) people back to Jesus. God, you are so good to us. Thank you for bringing the Holy Spirit down to offer wisdom and encouragement during this Catholic Talk Show episode.

I started reading the Baltimore Catechism. It has great questions answered that kids would understand and parents, too.

My reason for leaving 50 years ago I went to a priest to get married. After one meeting with him and my boyfriend he told me my marriage would not last and refused to marry us. My husband AMD I will celebrate our fiftyith wedding anniversary this fall. Tried to go back a few years ago and did not feel the same. I know God has not turned his back on me but the church did.

Good evening Father well I haven't heard that in my church .. and I will never and had never left my Catholic church .. because I have strong faith in God , keep my prayers, mass , rosary .. but ,what the churches should do is have priest teach bible classes, preaching, talk of values ,everyday problems,.prayers,all this should be done on RU-vid . Like a priest named Father Mark Goring , from Saint Mary's Church in Ottawa Canada .. and he has followers from all over the world and even people of other faiths , who praise him for preaching to people the word of God and give talks of different things that happened in our every day life .

Solution: Go back to Tradition

I loved this show!!! Thank you so much.

Amen!!! This is happening in other churches outside of the Catholic Church too. Podcasts such as yours are so helpful to bring people back to the Church.

You guys do a great job!!! Thank you for your effort to make this show!!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this episode as well as the other recent ones! Seriously great talk! You men speak with POWER! God bless you all! ✝️

Great show!! I’m 47 years and your show has thought me more than the 16 years of Catholic Schooling. I ask God what He wants me to hear before I turn on the show and it’s exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you and a keep up the great work!! God bless! 😊

This is one of the best episodes I ve ever seen, guys, I love it!

By far, this is your best episode. Thank you!

THIS is so POWERFUL!!! Truly the talk that needed to happen. Thank you! And truly we do have a society of victimization. I learned the truth about taking power back. And, this talk resonates with my own realization. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, God. Love this!

This is by far the best episode I've seen.

Maybe the question is, "Why is the church leaving Catholics"?

I used your statistics in a speech I had to give at my school. I hope I was able to make an influence. God Bless you guys!

I would like to thank you for your show and your hard work. This is the first time I watch it and I notice that you have a true zeal and love for the bride of Christ. Father and brothers, one thing that really pains me are how many millions are leaving the church for Evangelical and pentecostal churches in Latin America. Recently I read that in countries like Puerto Rico and Honduras, Evangelicals are actually the majority of the population and Catholics have become a minority. There are entire towns in Guatemala that are full Evangelical. This means not a single person is Catholic in an entire town. And the problem is, people are very happy and joyful for having left the Church. I have a friend who left the church in South America because when his mother was dying, he asked the priest to come to give her the last rites and he said that he wasn't available. The lady died without the last rites. In his case, I don't know if he left the church or the church has left him.

Guys, this was an amazing episode. I had a whole rambling comment that I just deleted because you guys touched on all of it and so much more. God bless all three of you.

Thank you so much for doing the Catholic Talk Show. I always love to hear the very important discussions you make. I pray every single day that our Pope will not close down the Tridentine Latin Mass. There is so much pressure from the Vatican to do this. 2,000 years of Catholic tradition will be wiped out. So many will feel alone if this is done. Overturning The Council of Trent, the acceptance and embracing of our Extraordinary Mass by literally hundreds of Popes since Peter. We have been to Mass since childhood every day during the weekdays and Sundays. I am so used to the Latin Mass and I am so so sorry to see what is going on in the Church. Please God answer my fervent prayers.

Reasons I left: I reached out for help as a troubled teen from a broken family and was met with rug sweeping, blame, and hellfire from ministry and ccd leaders. I longed for a relationship with Jesus and was met with long winded unrelated homilies that bored me to tears. I honestly don’t feel the priests in my hometown after our good priests were driven out could even consecrate the Eucharist anymore. My disdain and apathy for Sunday Mass made me feel more resentment at God than I was comfortable with. So I stepped away to save my relationship with God. I went to a baptist Church that gave me the tools in scripture I was longing for to understand what it was like to have a real relationship with Jesus based in faith and love. I feel the Catholic Church I grew up in was based in fear and obedience. What I am missing in the reverence, worship, and structure, that I have in the Catholic Church and that is what makes me consider coming back.

The lack of community and friendship within the Catholic parish is very pervasive. How is it that I can go to mass within the same church for several years and come out not knowing anyone? That I can sit next to someone in the same pew every Sunday and not know them. Look how quickly Catholics leave the church after mass. Nobody stays after to meet, talk, build friendships or community. I noticed that protestants have stronger community within their churches, perhaps because they have less people, but community is something Catholicism needs to fix.

Great Episode Guys! God Bless you and your work!

This is among the BEST shows you have done. You hit all the points that rankle me personally about the Church with the scandals, abuses etc. Before watching your program (and this ties in with the exact topic you were discussing at 43.00) I read a CNA report on the fact that RETIRED Cardinal Whuerl had received $2 million dollars for his personal use from the Archdiocese of Washington DC. This is slightly more than he received in 2020. When asked about this, his office told the reporter to contact the Archdiocese. So far, no response from headquarters.......and I'm not surprised. I'm a lifelong practicing Catholic layman and (retired) from 31 years as a Rel. Ed. (American History & Theology as double majors at DePaul U. in Chicago) teacher. I'd never leave because of the very truths of Faith that you all so wonderfully described. I've never heard it expressed better. But as I said in my first sentence, I'm "rankled" and what faithful Catholic isn't?? I'll be sure to follow you on TCTS "religiously" (pun intended!). I hope this presentation hits home with many people....especially family/friends of the NONES.

I've been obsessed with catholicism for about a year. I'm in RCIA now its the culmination of about a decade long apologetics journey. Through the class I've met about 20 members of the parish, almost all of them are seriously lacking in knowledge of scripture or have any apologetics. It's the only parish within an hour from where I live and I'm the only one in RCIA this year. I hope I can make a positive difference while learning the lifestyle

Biggest mistake I made. I left the Catholic Church for 19yrs. I am British. Grew up in England. Married a young American man who was in the U.S.Air Force. He was not Catholic. I married into a very strict Methodist family. Lived with them while he served in Vietnam. Made me go to their Church. I had a very liberal English upbringing. Went to the Anglican’s Church as a young girl. As a mid teenager. My parents moved away from where my grandmother lived. My grandmother always made sure my sister and I went to church.My sister and I did not go to church anymore. My parents did not go to Church. My dear Mum was brought up in the Anglican Church. But never went to church only for special occasions like wedding. My Dad was Catholic but did not go to church. When we moved out of my in-laws I went to the Episcopal Church. In 1978 converted to the Catholic Church. Long story. We have a son an daughter. In about 1995 left the Catholic Church to become a crazy J.W. I did not know my bible as well as I should have,or EarlyChurch history. Started to watch E.W.T.N. The Journey Home in 2013. Started to do research on the Early Church. Last step going to my youngest Godchild’s wedding August 2014. Next day I was back in the Church.

Really deep and moving episode - particularly valuable.

Awesome sharing. Thank you guys! God Bless us all

The most common thing I hear when I talk to people about the Church is the sex abuse scandal. The bishops and priests involved in this did so much damage that we will be seeing it for years. Also the large number of the faithful who are still in the Church but don’t believe Jesus is present in the Eucharist.

My local FSSP parish is packed full every Sunday. The TLM has helped me deepen my faith tremendously.

Love the passion of your discussion which was very moving at times. I hope and pray it brings more people to reconsider their decision. The same situation is occurring in Australia.

Love, love, loved this episode ❤️

I'll never leave the church I'm Ukrainian catholic I love going to church to worship one God the father don't le T the devil use you. God will destroy the devil I wont listen the devil. God creat the church to save peoples.🙏💒

"Liberty without responsibility" WOW that could be our mantra for the world today! We need more people like you guys calling out the twisted worldviews and speaking out against them. Bits like this really point out the downfalls and the flaws of our current society's "values". God bless you guys.

You've definately helped bridge the gap, guys -- for all 6 souls within our household. Thank you! 🙂 Please, keep talking. My 4 sons need your voices! My husband & I, too. God be with you & yours, always! 💖🙏🏼🕊️

The most in depth show EVER...We need this ‼️

This particular episode was VERY impactful for me. Thank you for your ministry gentlemen!

I am from Australia and it’s 4.35am and listening to your program which I have found so helpful and inspiring I have 3 brothers who have not been practicing the Catholic faith and my daughter too is not practicing. My son died seven months ago and he too lost his faith and during the last 72 hours of his life I just prayed the Divine Mercy prayer ver him I am 83years old and I pray that my siblings and daughter will return to their faith. Please pray for my family. God bless 1:21:00

Im 3 years behind but this was a wonderful show. I love how you guys are so great for renewing and drawing people to our Catholic Faith. May God continue to bless you and your efforts.

You guys are so marvelous . Since you minister right here miracles happen. I saw an angel walking at my work today. I love mass. I watch on t.v. here. I am not happy if I can not talk to my lord. Good Job. Much love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Thank you for this video. I was so confused about rejoining my Catholic Church. I prayed about it and I found you. I have a meeting with the priest on Friday and I love the Hallow app. Keep doing what you are doing. May God bless all that you do 🙏

I’m a revert on fire 🔥 for my Catholic faith after becoming deceived by the New Age movement. I’m now using this devastating experience to warn other people about this horrible deception. Look for my upcoming book ❤

I left the Catholic church over 20 years ago. Proud Baptist pastor to this day. I am addressing these same issues with my church, that people have walked away from faith period, and what are we going to do about it.

Hey guys, love the show! I'm going through RCIA and I'm so torn on communion in the hand. Not sure if you have done a video on it, but I would appreciate you pointing me the direction of good information.

Very powerful episode, thank you

Catechesis is most important. We need teachers that can teach. My daughter ended up teaching her own confirmation class because the teacher did not have any answers for questions the kids had. PS. I’m an ordained deacon

When I attended Catholic college (76-80) homilies were engaging and in a teaching tone- I loved it! When I went back home, the homily was dry I felt without a tie to the present day and no teaching was involved. It was hard to to be excited. I asked my priest to start a group for young people my age. His response was: Won’t be any interest. When I got married we asked for a couple group in a different parish, got the same response. This might be part of the problem. I never left the church, but ashamedly was away during the scandal. Then I realized; You don’t leave your best friend (Jesus) when He’s in trouble! I’ve learned and understood more online since COVID and felt closer to my Lord in the last year, than the last 40 years. Why aren’t things addressed in the parish??? 💖🦩

I’m watching this 4 years after the original airing. I left the church about 5 years ago (2018) and just came back before Thanksgiving 2023. Before that I left the church when I left home at 18 (1975) and came back briefly around the mid 80s. After my daughter was born in 1990, we came back until I left in 2018. I love that I’m back. ❤🙏❤️🙏❤️

My wife, my kids and I joined the Catholic Church 12 years ago. There were about 40 people in our RCIA class and we are the only ones still in the church. Our parish has about 2,000 members but there is no unity. People don’t seem to care about each other. When we miss Mass, nobody notices or cares. There are no Bible studies and when the church tries to hold a study nobody shows up. It’s the exact opposite of our former Protestant Church.

Can we be accepting of all people, without immediately getting judgemental?

I left (never really felt the faith ) at 18 when I wasn't forced to go to mass anymore. But I think if my parents LIVED the faith and openly talked about how beautiful and real our faith is, I would have never left. I am now on fire for the Lord and our Blessed Mother and my 3 young sons and husband and I live our faith with so much joy. I pray our catechism becomes more engaging, our church honors tradition, and families are empowered to make their homes domestic churches. Thank you for your messages gentlemen, we are learning so much. ❤

Thank you all for this; this was a rather powerful episode. I'm someone who is thinking about (and seriously at that) returning back across the Tiber, but I just have some doubts is all. I didn't grow up in it, but converted as a very young adult. Long story about why all I left. That, and certain familial contexts that I'm not sure if it'll rock the boat or not. I have an appointment with a priest in a few days, and I hope it'll all go well. Trying to discern, and to hopefully settle this once and for all.

As a mother I have always monitored relationships between my children and adults. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Survivor of sexual assault by a clergy member here. Still Catholic. If this particular arena is one you feel called to fight in, there are good Catholic organizations (many formed and administrated by the laity, and formed after the "summer of shame" in 2018) that you can join and support. Awake Milwaukee is one (they focus on Milwaukee but do a lot of national stuff as well), The Archangel Foundation is another one. Be forewarned though, it's a hard arena to fight in. There's still a lot of work to be done, and if you don't have a strong relationship with Christ in the Eucharist, your faith may not survive it.

I am glad I have continued to listen to these. I was getting turned off by the political discussions that were occasionally brought in, but appreciated that you talked openly about the problem it is causing today. There are strong liberal and conservative Catholics and we all have a home in this Church. I don't always agree with everything you all say, but there are things I am learning as I listen to you, especially the Father. One thing that has deeply influenced my faith to grow stronger is because of the loving words and inclusion I hear from Pope Francis, and my local Priests.

Outstanding episode gentlemen. May I suggest that after your opening theme music, you start each episode with a prayer. I would also appreciate a virtual blessing from Fr. Pagano at the conclusion of each episode. Thanks

I'm a convert to the Catholic church we need a show that talks about the number of people that are joining and why then bottling it.

Over the past several decades I've met many dozens of people who have left the Church, and it has nearly always come down to one statement: "The Church wasn't meeting my spiritual needs." And every time I have pressed the question further it became very clear that these people weren't actually talking about their spiritual needs; it was their emotional needs -- which needs are not the Church's primary mission. We live in a spoiled, shallow society that confuses feelings with spirituality.

Thank yo sooooo much for this wonderful, inspiring, educational and heart-warming talk!! I am a very proud devout Catholic and would very much appreciate more talks on how BLESSED we are to receive the Holy Eucharist! I also pray that I receive Our Blessed Sacrament more reverently. Grazie!! Thank you!! Greetings from NYC!!

My grandson goes to a Catholic College and the professors aren’t even Catholic. Very little religion taught

The Latin Mass churches are growing. Maybe the “New Church” should try to figure out why.

for years now, I never left the church cause of my parents, plus I was lukewarm, had anxiety and was borderline depressed.... I knew deep inside despite pressing thoughts to "leave the Catholic church".... that if I did I would have nothing to believe in anymore, no hope.... then in 2020 God saved me from my lukewarmness, I'm still trying, but I never EVER wanna go back to how I used to be.

A beautiful and powerful episode of The Catholic Talk Show. Love you!!!

God bless you. I love your radio talk. In my prayers for God bless and may your radio talk touch millions of Catholic and non Catholic. I will share this very very important subject🙏🙏

I am Catholic and I will never leave my church.

Thank you for your ministry! You don’t realize how helpful and healing your show is. Thank you father for carrying this huge cross. I am praying for you

Loved this episode

Thanks for this episode!
