The John-Henry Westen Show

Traditional Franciscan priest Fr. Mary-Isaac Relyea joins John-Henry Westen to address what he describes as a crisis of silence within the Catholic hierarchy. Drawing on St. John Eudes and St. Gregory the Great, Relyea argues that priests and bishops have a grave obligation to defend Catholic doctrine and warn souls against sin. He sharply criticizes Pope Leo XIV and other prelates whom he believes have failed in that responsibility, a failure that, he warns, invites damnation.The discussion addresses reception of Holy Communion, homosexuality, modernism, Vatican II, and the SSPX. Relyea argues that Catholics must remain faithful to what they understand as perennial Catholic teaching even amid opposition from Church authorities or their own families. The silence of the shepherds is not neutral; it is complicity.Relyea turns to the spiritual practices Catholics need to persevere: the Rosary, the sacraments, spiritual Communion, mental prayer, penance, fasting, and studying the lives of the saints. Mental prayer is an intimate conversation with God. Intellectual knowledge of the faith is not enough—Catholics must live it through prayer and heroic virtue.On the SSPX controversy, Relyea rejects warnings that Catholics associated with the Society are endangering their salvation. He defends resistance to commands he considers contrary to the faith and urges Catholics not to succumb to fear of persecution or condemnation. The silence must be broken. The faith must be defended. And the time to act is now.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's beatification is approaching, and the story behind it is miraculous. John-Henry Westen speaks with Al Smith, a Canadian plumber who had never heard of Sheen and became one of his most dedicated promoters. Smith discovered Sheen through his writings, brought his talks to radio and seminaries, republished his works, and eventually served with the Sheen Foundation. He highlights Sheen's Marian and Carmelite spirituality, his commitment to the Holy Hour, and his determination to bring souls to Christ.But the most extraordinary part of the story is James Fulton Engstrom, the child whose approved healing was attributed to Sheen's intercession. The newborn showed no signs of life for 61 minutes as his family prayed for Sheen's intercession. Then his heart began beating again. He suffered no brain damage. Now 15 years old, he will process Sheen's relics at the beatification ceremony.Sheen was not simply a celebrated Catholic broadcaster. He was a spiritual teacher whose writings, devotion to Our Lady, Eucharistic spirituality, and zeal for souls can continue forming Catholics into disciples today. The miracle paved the way. The beatification is coming. And the question is whether a new generation will discover the teacher who never stopped pointing to Christ.Learn more at: www.celebratesheen.com & www.bishopsheentoday.comLife Site News supporters can get a 25% discount when they use the promo code Sheen25 at checkout at www.sophiainstitute.com to get the book!

A first-of-its-kind debate on the John-Henry Westen Show: does accepting a universe billions of years old contradict a faithful Christian interpretation of Scripture?Ed Mazza and astronomer Dr. Hugh Ross defend the proposition that it does not. Mazza argues the Church distinguishes the essential doctrine of creation from questions about how and over what period it unfolded—citing St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope Leo XIII, the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and Pope Pius XII. Ross approaches the question scientifically: distant galaxies, stellar development, and radioactive decay demonstrate immense cosmic ages while remaining compatible with belief in God as Creator.Hugh Owen and Dr. Kevin Mark counter that Scripture, the Church Fathers, Catholic liturgy, and traditional teaching support a universe created less than 10,000 years ago. Owen argues Genesis records genuine history and that the supernatural work of creation cannot be reconstructed by extrapolating present-day natural processes backward in time. Mark challenges the Big Bang model and conventional dating methods, while Ross disputes the young-universe scientific arguments.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Jason Jones traveled to southern Lebanon with his 18-year-old son on a humanitarian mission to assist vulnerable Christian communities caught between Israel and Hezbollah. They slept in villages while nearby bombing repeatedly shook their building. They traveled through dangerous territory and passed the aftermath of deadly attacks. Through the Vulnerable People Project, Jones's team visited isolated Christian villages, organized festivals for hundreds of children, celebrated the Feast of the Assumption with local Christians, and developed a plan to help these communities survive the coming winter.Jones describes what he says is the destruction of Christian villages, churches, crucifixes, and religious images by Israeli forces, comparing some of the desecration he witnessed to what he previously saw after ISIS attacks in Iraq. Ancient Christian communities in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank are being abandoned while trapped between competing regional powers.Jones calls on American Catholics to use their political influence and resources to defend them. He urges Christians to overcome internal divisions and develop a lasting "habit of solidarity" with persecuted Christians around the world. The children are suffering. The churches are being destroyed. The faithful are being abandoned. The question is whether American Catholics will respond, or remain silent while the Holy Land's Christians disappear. The time for solidarity is now.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Chéri Ballinger was a model and actress with everything ahead of her. Then, on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, after praying several Rosaries, she fell seven feet from a trampoline onto concrete. The traumatic brain injury left her unable to walk or talk. Doctors were astonished she survived without breaking her neck, but they gave her little hope of returning to a normal life.Ballinger credits Our Lady with sparing her life. The Rosary, prayer, offering up her suffering, and ultimately surrendering herself completely to God's will sustained her through years of rehabilitation. Her recovery was miraculous—and it came with a new mission.She returned to public life as a warrior for Christ. She became an executive producer of Roe v. Wade, entered advocacy and speaking work, and now argues that women should look to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the ultimate model of womanhood—not attempt to imitate men. Ballinger calls women to embrace their distinctive capacity for nurturing, love, beauty, and elevating society.Her message to Catholics facing suffering: your life has purpose. Entrust yourself to God and Our Lady. The accident was devastating. But it was not the end. It was the beginning of a mission. And the woman who lost everything found the only thing that matters.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Ted Flynn, Marian apparitions expert and author of Secrets of the Book of Revelation Revealed, joins John-Henry Westen to argue that the Book of Revelation is unfolding before our eyes. Drawing on decades of research into Marian prophecy, Scripture, mystics, and the end times, Flynn connects Fatima, Garabandal, the Marian Movement of Priests, and Fr. Stefano Gobbi's messages to the present crisis in the Church and world. Humanity, he insists, cannot repair this collapse by its own efforts, divine intervention is coming.Flynn turns to artificial intelligence, surveillance, digital identity, and the infrastructure being built by technological elites, including Palantir, Peter Thiel, massive data centers, and wealthy figures preparing bunkers for catastrophic scenarios. He argues these developments resemble the conditions described in Revelation, where people could be prevented from buying or selling. Marian warnings about the Antichrist, Freemasonry, and the "appointed time" for the unveiling of Revelation are being fulfilled before our eyes.Despite the warnings, Flynn's message is ultimately one of hope: Our Lady triumphs in the end. The infrastructure is being laid. The signs are everywhere. But the triumph is certain. The question is whether the faithful will recognize the battle before it is too late. The Book of Revelation is not a distant prophecy, it is present reality. And the time to prepare is now.Buy Ted Flynn's new book here: https://sign.org/product/the-secrets-of-the-book-of-revelation-revealed/Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Software engineer Jeremy Williamson warns that digital ID, surveillance technology, and centralized control over everyday technology are laying the groundwork for a system that could exclude dissenters from economic and social life. Age verification, he argues, is a "Trojan horse" for universal digital ID—tying identity to banking, communications, transportation, and essential services. COVID-era vaccine passports and frozen bank accounts during the Canadian trucker protests demonstrate how this infrastructure can be weaponized.Williamson connects these developments to Christian eschatology, warning that the technology being built could ultimately enable a "Beast system" in which those who refuse to comply are excluded. He urges Christians to reduce dependence on centralized systems: use cash, open-source software, older technology, maintain supplies, and build networks of like-minded people. The infrastructure is being laid. The question is whether Christians will recognize it before it is too late.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!
