The Limits of Authority: When Popes, Bishops, and Priests Go Too Far | Fr. Pius Pietrzyk, OP
Season 1 · Episode 1
Thursday, January 9, 2025 • Duration 02:35:25
Canonist Fr. Pius Pietrzyk, OP joins Conor to discuss the limits of authority regarding the liturgy, clergy assignments, building projects, seminary formation, and parish management. They delve into the difference between a religious superior’s authority and that of a diocesan bishop’s authority. What does it mean for a diocesan priest to be obedient to his bishop? Do religious priests ordained bishops confuse the two? And what are the three branches of government in canon law, which was largely influenced by our American system? Do bishops understand that they are merely the executive branch of Holy Mother Church and thus do not “make law”? Is there a broader agenda in the Church today?

Is the Novus Ordo Less Catholic Than the TLM? | Dr. Peter Kwasniewski
Season 1 · Episode 36
Thursday, October 9, 2025 • Duration 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.
If you’ve ever wondered why so many Catholics are returning to the TLM — or how the Church can recover her lost reverence — this conversation offers historical insight, theological depth, and a hopeful vision for renewal.
