- 51 minutes 29 secondsAre Liberals Really Liberal? (Bert Olivier) 3/31/26
We welcome Professor Bert Olivier of the University of the Free State in South Africa to examine the evolution of the term “liberal.” Are those who bear the label today truly aligned with its classical meaning, or has the concept undergone a fundamental transformation? What do these shifts reveal about contemporary understandings of freedom, authority, and the common good? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.

In part three of this special series on tyranny, Fr. McTeigue contends that neither virtue signaling nor continued synodal dialogue can adequately address the roots of modern oppression. As contemporary society remains entangled in networks of political, corporate, and ideological power, genuine freedom can only be found in the kingship of Christ.

We welcome back Fr. John Perricone to examine how the term “traditional Catholic” has, in some contexts, taken on a derogatory connotation, even within sectors of the Church’s own hierarchy. What does it truly mean to be a “traditional Catholic,” and how can this identity be properly understood apart from caricature or misuse? How might a renewed embrace of the Church’s beautiful and sacred traditions prove beneficial for all Catholics?

We welcome back canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray to examine the canonical and ecclesial dimensions of the ongoing tensions between the Society of Saint Pius X and the Vatican. How should this disagreement be understood in light of Church law and authority, and what principles are at stake in evaluating its possible resolution? Why does the recent synodal document addressing the role of women in the Church raise further theological and canonical questions regarding the nature of sacred tradition? Father finishes with Timely Thoughts.
