About this listen

This is a podcast where we discuss those things that are supposed to be off limits these days: Religion, Politics and Culture. Each episode should be around 30 minutes long. There will be interviews with Catholic authors, teachers and speakers. The goal is to foster a solidly orthodox, faithful, conservative Catholic culture in a society gone made with woke liberalism... and have fun doing it

    Jan 29 2026
    The Duties of the Married.
    1. It is the duty of the wife to obey her husband, as the man is the head of the family, the representative of God.
    2. The husband and wife owe to each other love, fidelity, and mutual aid in all circumstances of their life.
    3. It is the duty of both husband and wife to provide for their children, and train them in the fear and love of God.
    4. In regard to the bringing up of their children it is the duty of parents to have them baptized immediately after their birth, to give them their first religious teaching, to set them a good example in all respects, and to treat them with kindness rather than severity.

    Mixed Marriages.
    1. Mixed marriages, by which is understood the marriage of Catholics to non-Catholics, have always been disapproved of by the Church.
    2. The Church tolerates mixed marriages on three conditions
    3. The Catholic who contracts a mixed marriage without the benediction of the Church commits a mortal sin, and cannot be admitted to the sacraments.

    The Unmarried State.
    1. The unmarried state is better than the married, because those who do not marry have far more opportunity for attending to their spiritual welfare, and can attain a higher degree of glory hereafter.
    2. Our Lord when on earth commended the state of virginity both by precept and example.

    Jan 23 2026
    A marriage can only be concluded in the absence of all impediments to it. The impediments may be such as nullify marriage, or such as render it unlawful.
    1. Those that render marriage null or invalid, are: Coercion, defect of age, consanguinity, and affinity, a previous marriage tie still existing, the greater degrees of Holy Orders, solemn vows, the prohibition concerning the marriage of Catholics with unbaptized persons.
    2. The impediments that render marriage unlawful, are: The prohibition in regard to certain times, diversity of religious belief, betrothal, simple vows, complete ignorance of religious truth.
    3. Impediments of a purely civil nature, such as minority, military service, recent widowhood.
    4. The ecclesiastical authorities are accustomed to dispense from matrimonial impediments where good reasons exist; the secular authorities do likewise.
    5. If a marriage to which any impediment rendering it invalid exists, should have been contracted, it must either be dissolved, or the impediment must be removed by means of a dispensation, and the ceremony performed over again.
    6. Marriage must be preceded by betrothal, by the publication of the banns, and by the reception of the Sacraments of Penance and of the Altar.
    7. Betrothal consists in this: An unmarried man and an unmarried woman, after due reflection, pledge their troth to one another, promising each to marry the other at the time agreed upon between them.
    8. The publication of banns is as follows: The names of the contracting parties between whom the marriage is to be concluded, shall be announced publicly three times in the parish church during the solemnization of Mass on three successive Sundays or festival days (Council of Trent, 24, 1).
    9. It is also enjoined on persons intending to marry to approach the Sacraments of Penance and of the Altar, because it is indispensable that they should be in a. state of grace, in order to participate in the graces conferred in the Sacrament of Matrimony.
    10. The Church expressly commands that the marriage be concluded in the presence of the priest of the parish, and two witnesses; or the parish priest may authorize another priest to act in his place.
    11. Marriages are, as a rule, celebrated in the forenoon, in the house of God, with solemn ceremonies, and Mass is usually said at the time.

    Jan 15 2026
    1. God Himself instituted matrimony in the beginning of the world, for the procreation of the human race, and the mutual assistance of husband and wife.
    2. Christian marriage is a contract between man and woman, binding' them to an undivided and indissoluble partnership, and conferring on them at the same time grace to fulfil all the duties required of them.
    3. Civil marriage is to be distinguished from Christian marriage, inasmuch as it is no sacrament, and consequently in the sight of God no true and real marriage for Catholics.
    4. According to the ordinance of Christ, Christian marriage is strictly a union of two persons only, and it is indissoluble.
    5. Christian marriage consists of the union of one man and one woman only.
    6. Christian marriage is indissoluble; that is to say, neither husband nor wife can contract a second marriage during the life time of the other.
    7. The Sacrament of Matrimony confers upon Christians who embrace that state both an increase of sanctifying grace, and in addition the special graces necessary to enable them to discharge the duties required of them.
