• Indefinite Podcast Pause

  This indefinite podcast pause comes with sadness and great joy. For ten years the Catholic Link podcast has engaged Catholics with faith filled content and enabled them to grow deeper in their faith. It is sad to see the podcast end, but we must not be too sorrowful knowing what good the Lord has done with the podcast. We thank all the listeners, the guests, and donors who made the podcast what it is. God bless you! Previous Episode Listen to the previous episode to learn how to Be a great husband because your wife needs you. A man often lists his priorities as: God, family, then work. How much time do they dedicate to each of those items? So often work and sleep get the most time and our families, and in particular our wives, get the time that’s left. Devin Schadt, of Fathers of St. Joseph, joins the podcast to provide practical tips for fostering the primordial relationship of a man’s marriage: the relationship with his wife. Our wives desire four things: security, strength, closeness, and spiritual leadership. The husbands of the family provide those needs and the love shared between a man and wife passes down to the children and the world at large. Learn about fatherhood with Devin’s book, The Rule, and follow Fathers of St. Joseph on Instagram. Links Order your copy of Why Christians Can Wear Pants here. Fr.

• Halloween and Christianity with Fr. Rob: A Throwback

  Is Halloween a pagan holiday? Should Catholics Participate in Halloween? In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss a Christians relationship to modern day celebrations of Halloween. Halloween originally, and still is, a day of observation of All Saints Day, originally known as All Hallow's Eve. In modern observations of Halloween, debates of the morality of the celebration arose. Fr. Rob and Fr. George address some best practices for Christians as they observe Halloween. With all things in the Catholic Church, Fr. Rob emphasizes holding the two extremes in tension. There are aspects of Halloween that are good and others that can mislead someone into sinful behaviors. For the Christian, it is our responsibility to discern the aspects that bring us closer to God and those that do not.

• Homilies with Fr. Rob: A Throwback

  In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss some of their thoughts about homilies at Mass and how we are to respond to them. They first offer advice to priests and deacons. When writing a homily, a priest or deacon should keep in mind what they want to say. What is the big take away the congregation should have? The next advice for preachers is to be oneself. Authenticity helps the life of Christ shine through the preacher. They then offer advice for the congregation. There's a temptation to call anything good or bad. There lacks the nuance in those situations. Fr. Rob and Fr. George suggest that if we struggle to understand what the priest says in the homily, we should go to the priest and ask him to clarify. We must approach all these situations with charity and assume the most positive intent. Previous Episode Listen to the previous episode to learn how to the world’s most famous exorcist: Fr.

• Eucharistic Visits with Fr. Rob: A Throwback

  In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss short visits to the Eucharist in our routine. Some people may struggle to do a Holy Hour. This sometimes feels daunting and unattainable. However, Fr. Rob and Fr. George encourage us to make short and simple visits to the Blessed Sacrament on a regular basis. These visits can be five minutes or less and include simple memorized prayers and a spiritual communion. Incorporating this into our routines will increase our Eucharistic devotion and love for our Lord. We could pass a Church on our way to our work regularly. What if we went inside and said an Our Father and continued on our way? This simple gesture done regularly will have immense positive impacts on our spiritual life and draw us closer to Christ in the Eucharist. Then, if we have the time, we can go to Eucharistic Adoration. Thank you for listening to this podcast by Catholic Link, we pray that this podcast helps bring you closer to Christ in the Eucharist.

• Traditional Catholic Liturgy with Fr. Rob: A Throwback

  In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss what our proper attitude towards tradition and traditional liturgies should be. The Traditional Latin Mass and other traditional liturgies are strikingly beautiful. However, there is a danger to inordinately focus on the externals. Virtue is, again, finding the medium between two extremes. At any Mass we go to, we must unite our prayers and sacrifices with that of the Eucharist offered on the altar. Humans have a soul and a body. We need externals to unite our hearts to the true sacrifice of the Eucharist. Some liturgical practices aid in this way more than others. But we must adopt a spirit that understands their proper place. Fr. Rob and Fr. George offer tips on how to find this medium between two extremes. We can admire the beauty of tradition and traditional liturgies and maintain that the heart of worship is our sacrifices united to the Eucharist. With this in our hearts, our worship at a Traditional Latin Mass heightens. Thank you for listening to this podcast by Catholic Link, we pray that this podcast helps bring you closer to Christ in the Eucharist.
