We analyze the saints, the Traditional Latin Mass, the Papacy, and liturgical life with voices like Fr. Gerald Murray, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, Fr. Timothy Reid, and Edward Pentin. We expose the lies of Woke Ideology, Globalism, and the Deep State with guests like Bishop Strickland, Bill Donohue, Noelle Mering, and Rick Santorum. From the Shroud of Turin and Near-Death Experiences to Catholic Parenting and homesteading, no topic is off-limits. Our goal is simple: to pursue Truth, defend the Faith, and help you get your family to Heaven. Follow for future episodes!

    St. Elizabeth of the Trinity battled a fierce temper, endured a dark night of the soul, and suffered through a painful final illness— and yet by persevering in Faith she became a great saint. Fr. Joseph Spence joins Conor to recount the life of this forgotten Carmelite mystic, from her early struggles and delayed entrance into the convent to her profound discovery of the Trinitarian indwelling in the soul. What can St. Elizabeth teach us about finding God within us and growing closer to Him in the midst of our own struggles? Find out in the latest episode of the Conor Gallagher Show.

    Joshua Charles of Eternal Christendom joins Conor to expose the history and ideology behind Freemasonry, the Church’s warnings about secret societies, the Great Apostasy and the “mystery of iniquity,” and the growing rejection of the supernatural in Western society. They also examine the Founding Fathers, the decline of Christendom, the possibility of a Third Temple and the Antichrist, and what Catholics should make of the spiritual battle unfolding around them. This conversation will give you a sobering look at the spiritual forces behind the attacks on Holy Mother Church—and the coming trials for which all Catholics must prepare.

    Show notes

    St. Thérèse of Lisieux is remembered as the “Little Flower,” yet beneath the flowers was a surprisingly intense spirituality of suffering, sacrifice, and radical love. Fr. Joseph Spence goes beyond the familiar image of Thérèse to uncover the profound spirituality behind her Little Way: from her confidence in God’s mercy and her willingness to suffer for love, to her battle against scrupulosity and fear, and her deep spousal relationship with Jesus Christ. This episode will show you a Thérèse whose spirituality is far more profound and intensive than you ever realized.

    Is the Church quietly undermining the permanence of marriage by making annulments too easy? Conor sits down with author John Clark to examine the Church’s modern “annulment culture,” asking whether marriage is truly being treated as the sacrament it is. They discuss the rise of annulments, changes to the Church’s tribunal process, the suffering of abandoned spouses, and the historical defense of marriage from Catherine of Aragon to Humanae Vitae. Tune in for an impassioned defense of the permanence of marriage—and a challenge to the Church to recover the sacramental vision of marriage that has been lost in the modern annulment culture.

    Satan and his demons are targeting your family—but his attacks are often far more subtle than most Catholics realize. Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger explains why the devil's primary strategy is often not dramatic possession, but subtle attacks on our thoughts, perceptions, and relationships. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, years of experience as an exorcist, and the wisdom of the saints, he reveals how resentment, distorted assumptions, and the loss of daily self-sacrifice slowly erode marriages and family life—and what Catholics can do to resist these attacks. He also highlights God's providence, the purpose of suffering, spiritual discipline, the reality of the occult, and how to achieve holiness in a world increasingly marked by spiritual conflict.

    Show notes

    This special four-hour episode confronts one of the most consequential questions facing the Catholic Church today: is the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) on the right side of history? The SSPX’s Fr. Jonathan Loop argues that a continuing crisis in the Church has created a state of necessity that can justify extraordinary measures to preserve Catholic tradition and the priesthood. Fr. Gerald Murray does not think those extraordinary measures are justified and that the SSPX’s misapplication of canon law undermines the Church's divinely established authority.

    BIOGRAPHIES

    Fr. Jonathan Loop is a priest of the Society of Saint Pius X, a convert to the Catholic Faith, and a respected educator, speaker, and apologist known for his clear defense of Catholic tradition. Ordained in 2011, he has devoted his priesthood to forming young Catholics, preaching the Faith, and addressing the challenges facing the Church today.

    Fr. Gerald E. Murray is a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, canon lawyer, author, and widely respected commentator on Catholic doctrine, canon law, and ecclesiastical affairs. Ordained to the priesthood in 1984, he has devoted decades of priestly ministry to the defense and explanation of the Church’s perennial teaching and is one of the most recognizable voices in contemporary Catholic discourse.

    After leaving Islam and falling into atheism and hedonism, Ismail Youssef never expected Catholicism to become the answer. Raised in a devout Sunni Muslim family and educated in the Quran, Ishmael shares the powerful story of how historical questions about Muhammad, a haunting dream of the Crucifixion, and an intense investigation into the Resurrection ultimately led him to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. Ismail’s message is a wake up call for all Christians in the West to take the reality of Islam seriously, before it is too late.

    Conor is joined by Father Kauth, Rector of St. Joseph College Seminary in the Diocese of Charlotte, to explore the hidden life and heroic virtue of St. Joseph. Drawing on Father Kauth’s book The Imitation of St. Joseph, they examine Joseph’s role in salvation history, his connection to the patriarchs, and the profound lessons his life offers on fatherhood, obedience, and silent suffering.

    In a world struggling with a shortage of good men, fathers, and role models, devotion to St. Joseph offers a powerful response. His example of purity, courage, and obedience to the word of God provides guidance for men today who are seeking to lead and protect in their families and in the Church.
