In this second part of a two-part interview, Catholic novelist, author, painter, and essayist Michael O'Brien discusses the "heresy" that hell is empty.

Catholic novelist, author, painter, and speaker Michael O'Brien says that “wherever there is confusion, ambiguity, a cloud of vagueness beginning to dissolve the actual clarity of the living Gospels…we have at least a factor that will contribute to the ultimate delusion which Satan and the anti-Christ will bring upon mankind.” We must “pray and fast for the church as we stay awake and watch.” Hosted on Acast.

“A respectful resistance,” Professor de Mattei said, is what Catholics need to have at this time in Church history. Now “is a time for speaking” and Catholics must have a “militant spirit” and fight with prayer and example. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this edition of the John-Henry Westen show we are pleased to bring you this first in a two-part interview with Professor Roberto de Mattei. Described as the greatest historian on the Catholic Church alive today, Professor de Mattei explains how the crisis in the Church came about and how Pope Francis has contributed to it. "Pope Francis, even more than modern liberal theologians, is a revolutionary because while they theorize he puts into practice the revolution itself." Hosted on Acast.

Princess Gloria, one of the wealthiest women in Germany who is friends with not just Pope Benedict but also Hillary Clinton, joins John-Henry to discuss her Catholic faith, including her time spent away from the Church in the 1980s. "The Sacraments are the key to the well being of the soul," she says in this truly unique episode of The John-Henry Westen Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Athanasius Schneider, together with several other bishops, have issued a public declaration of truths of the faith to remedy the “almost universal doctrinal confusion and disorientation” endangering the spiritual health and eternal salvation of souls in the Church today.Some of the 40 truths which are elucidated in the declaration implicitly reference statements made by Pope Francis, while others relate to points of confusion that have arisen or intensified during the current pontificate. Still others address moral errors in society that are gravely harming lives, as much of the hierarchy stands by. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cardinal Muller has been called by his detractors the "#1 enemy of the Pope" for issuing a “manifesto of Faith” that some say reads as a correction of Pope Francis. The former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has not stopped speaking out in defense of truths of the Catholic faith — now under assault from within — despite being asked to step down from his post by Pope Francis in 2017. Today, on Episode 12 of The John-Henry Westen Show, I'm speaking with Cardinal Muller about his “manifesto of Faith” and what it means today for a cardinal to fulfill his duty to advise the pope. Join us as Cardinal Muller shines a ray of clarity on the unprecedented crisis that is unfolding in the Church under Pope Francis’ watch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In May of 2018, Cardinal William Eijk of the Netherlands, said the Pope's lack of clarity regarding intercommunion reminded him of "The Church's ultimate trial. Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Article 675). Today, on Episode 11 of The John-Henry Westen Show, I’m discussing Cardinal Eijk's request for clarity from the Holy Father, akin to St. Paul's public rebuke of St. Peter. Join us as we discuss the harm being done by Pope Francis' ambiguity and the Church's teaching on sexuality and marriage.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Scripture teaches us that God is the author of life. Children are truly a blessing and in procreation parents cooperate with God in creating new souls for heaven is a glorious teaching.  During his 2015 trip to the Philippines, Pope Francis remarked that Catholics don’t need to breed “like rabbits,” and instead stressed the importance of having 3 children, enough to sustain the population.  Today, on Episode 10 of The John-Henry Westen Show, I discuss Pope Francis’ distressing remarks and attitude regarding large families and the true beauty of a family of any size.   Hosted on Acast.

The Catholic Church has faced an internal war against her teaching on contraception for decades with the Popes fighting valiantly to defend and explain why the Church promotes openness to life.Unfortunately, on this teaching as much as many others, Pope Francis has introduced considerable ambiguity, and has even seemed to undermine the teaching in some of his informal remarks.Today, on Episode 9 of The John-Henry Westen Show, I’m discussing the Pope Francis’ comments on contraception, and why they are such a departure from the Church’s traditional teaching on the issue.The John-Henry Westen Show is available by video on the show’s YouTube channel and on my LifeSite blog.

Every sincere Catholic looks forward to the unification of Christians in answer to the prayer of Christ Himself. Yet tragically there have been splits in the Church which have caused many to be deprived of the fullness of the truth.Unfortunately, Pope Francis’ approach to the question of those Christians who lack the fullness of faith has been very confusing.The John-Henry Westen Show is available by video on the show’s YouTube channel, and on my LifeSite blog.

Since launching The John-Henry Westen Show a number of viewers have raised questions about the issues I’ve brought up.I was on the road last week, so I decided to take the opportunity to answer some of those questions on this week’s episode.I discuss the importance of joy in the apostolate – why we must be “happy warriors” even in the midst of the darkness around us in the Church and culture. I share two examples of these “happy warriors” – two men who are in fact most vilified in our Church for speaking the truth about the current crisis: Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Athanasius Schneider.And I discuss the need for authentic charity towards Pope Francis. The question we must ask ourselves is: Do I really love Pope Francis enough to express concern about what’s going on? Do I love him enough to tell him I’m concerned for his soul?The John-Henry Westen Show is also available by video on the show’s YouTube channel, and on my LifeSite blog. Hosted on Acast.

The Church has condemned Communism unequivocally, but Pope Francis has been dangerously ambiguous in his remarks and acts related to this dangerous ideology.Today, on Episode 6 of The John-Henry Westen Show, I talk about Pope Francis’ record on Communism and why it is such a stark departure from the Church’s authentic teaching.The John-Henry Westen Show is available by video on the show’s YouTube channel, and on my LifeSite blog.

One of the most problematic aspects of Pope Francis’ pontificate has been his promotion and support for prelates who undermine Church teaching.There are numerous examples, but today on Episode 5 of The John-Henry Westen Show, I’m going to talk about one of the most disturbing and prominent cases.Cardinal Godfried Danneels died on March 14 this year. We must pray earnestly that God has mercy on his soul, because he is very much in need of such prayers.Cardinal Danneels should have been one of the most controversial prelates in the Catholic Church, not only for his opposition to Catholic teaching,but especially in our times because he was caught on tape in 2010 telling a victim of pedophile sexual abuse by a bishop friend of his not to go public with the abuse. But, as I explain on today’s show, Cardinal Danneels was in the limelight with Pope Francis.The John-Henry Westen Show is available by video on the show’s YouTube channel and on my LifeSite blog.We’ve created a special email list for the show so that we can notify you every week when we post a new episode. Please sign up now by clicking here.  Hosted on Acast.
