| Buy Dirt. Build Community. Be Human. | The Catholic Land Movement | 01 Aug 2026 | 02:36:58 | |
Is modern life making us happier—or pulling us further from God, family, and one another? Mike Thomas and Andrew Ewell of the American Catholic Land Movement join Conor to discuss why so many Catholics are rediscovering a simpler, land-based way of life rooted in prayer, family, and meaningful work. Together they explore Catholic social teaching, distributism, technology and AI, the importance of subsidiarity and community, and how reconnecting with the created world can help restore a more human, virtuous, and deeply Catholic way of living. 💲Get 50% off the book, The American Catholic Land Movement, using coupon code CGS50: https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-american-catholic-land-movement-past-present-and-future/ 🌐 Learn more about the American Catholic Land Movement by visiting their website: https://catholiclandmovement.info/ 👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media! https://www.facebook.com/conorgallaghershow https://instagram.com/conorgallaghershow https://tiktok.com/@conorgallaghershow Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1qtdMK8FqjAQ3ODlFXCEYt?si=ae4598b16c1d4cde Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conor-gallagher-show/id1789476722 📱TAN Digital: The Catholic App You Can Trust.

Who were the Knights Templar—and how much of what we've been told is actually true? Matthew Weller joins Conor to separate history from myth, exploring the origins of the Templars during the Crusades, their unique calling as warrior-monks, and the spiritual mission that shaped one of the most misunderstood orders in Church history.

| Fr. Ripperger on How the Devil Attacks Your Family | 03 Jul 2026 | 01:20:08 | |
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. 💲Use Coupon Code CGS50 to get 50% off any work of Spiritual Warfare at TAN Books: https://tanbooks.com/books/topic/spiritual-warfare Special recommendations: 📕 The Liber Christo Method (foreword by Fr.

Was Vatican II a renewal of the Church, the beginning of a crisis, or something more complicated? In this episode, Conor sits down for a second time with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski for a thoughtful examination of the Second Vatican Council, its authority, its documents, and its lasting impact on Catholic life.

| SSPX: Both Sides of the Controversy | Fr. Gerald Murray, J.C.D. & Fr. Jonathan Loop, FSSPX | 10 Jun 2026 | 04:05:24 | |
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. 🔗 LINKS TO RELEVANT DOCUMENTS: Graphic Comparing Dignitatis Humanae to Earlier Encyclicals: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GO27hrK9baeF7Sqa0A9iI59lzjw1Fkg3/view SSPX Article Announcing the Episcopal Ordinations: https://fsspx.news/en/news/general-house-announces-names-future-bishops-59319 Pope St. Paul VI’s comments on Vatican II: https://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/it/audiences/1966/documents/hf_p-vi_aud_19660112.html EDITING NOTE: To be as fair and impartial as possible, we have included all responses in full.

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.

Conor is joined by Fr. Dan Reehil, a Catholic priest and diocesan exorcist, for a grounded and hope-filled conversation about how God is actively at work in the world today—even in the midst of spiritual darkness. Drawing from firsthand experience, Fr. Reehil explains how the Church carefully discerns true demonic activity, what exorcisms are actually like in real life, and why Hollywood depictions miss the mark.

| John Paul II Vs Gender Ideology: The Pope’s PROPHETIC Theology of the Body | Dr. John Grabowski | 24 Nov 2025 | 01:20:43 | |
Catholic moral theologian Dr. John Grabowski joins the Conor Gallagher Show to unpack a seemingly simple yet controversial question: What does it mean to be male and female — and how did society become so confused about it? Offering a unique combination of deep theological insight and familiarity with the relevant scientific literature, Dr. Grabowski explains how gender ideology emerged, why it spread so quickly, and why Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body offers a comprehensive Catholic response to the cultural confusion it has generated. Together they explore: - The roots of gender ideology — from feminist thinkers Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler to Marxism, existentialism, post-modernism, and the rise of relativism. - How JPII’s Theology of the Body directly addresses today’s confusions. - The spiritual and pastoral dimensions of helping those with gender dysphoria - How Pope Leo can confront issues like gender confusion, the rise of AI, and social fragmentation. - And where the culture may be heading in the next decade. If you want to be reminded of the dignity of the human person and the biblical truth about our creation as male and female - then this is the conversation for you. 💲Use code GENDER to get 30% off Dr. Grabowski’s Book, Unraveling Gender: The Battle Over Sexual Difference: https://tanbooks.com/contemporary-issues/social-issues/unraveling-gender-the-battle-over-sexual-difference/ 👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media!

| Why Catholics CAN’T Be Libertarian: The Lie That Poisoned Both Left and Right | Patrick Deneen | 10 Nov 2025 | 01:49:38 | |
Can a faithful Catholic truly be a libertarian? Patrick Deneen joins Conor Gallagher for a riveting takedown of one of the most seductive lies in modern politics. In this powerful conversation, Deneen exposes how both left and right libertarianism—born of the same liberal root—have poisoned our culture, eroded the family, and hollowed out the soul of the West. He reveals how the obsession with “freedom” without virtue leads not to flourishing, but to fragmentation, isolation, and despair. From the collapse of community and the rise of elite disconnection to the spiritual emptiness of consumerism, this episode confronts the political and moral decay shaping our times. Deneen calls for a radical return to faith, prayer, and the common good—anchored in a mixed constitution that restores balance between leaders and ordinary people. Prepare for a thought-provoking challenge to everything you think you know about politics, freedom, and what it means to live as a Catholic in the modern world. 👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media!

| Is the Novus Ordo Less Catholic Than the TLM? | Dr. Peter Kwasniewski | 09 Oct 2025 | 02:07:33 | |
👉 Has modern Catholic worship lost its soul? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski joins Conor Gallagher to ask a bold question: Is the Novus Ordo Mass less Catholic than the Traditional Latin Mass? They trace the sweeping liturgical changes since Vatican II, exploring how the Novus Ordo reshaped Catholic belief, reverence for the Eucharist, and the Church’s sense of sacred mystery. Dr. Kwasniewski argues that these reforms created a “Catholicism-lite” — a faith stripped of its symbolic depth, language of beauty, and theocentric focus.
