Mark Twain and St. Joan of Arc
Mark Twain considered Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc his best, and his favorite work. He spent twelve years researching for it, and then two years writing. The book was originally published under a pseudonym in serial in Harper's Weekly. His fans and the general public were shocked and confused when they found out that this beautiful, serious, and deeply Catholic book was written by Twain. Twain was not Catholic - he wasn't even Christian - and he had a great animosity toward the Catholic Church. But in Joan of Arc he found the greatest human person he'd ever encountered.

Roman Martyrs in a Louisville Church
มุมมอง 5016 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Saints Bonosa and Magnus were martyred in Rome in either the third or fourth century. Their bones rested peacefully in the catacombs until 1700, when they were given to the Cistercian sisters in Anagni, a town near Rome, for veneration in their chapel. When the Kingdom of Italy conquered the Papal States in the late 19th century, Pope Leo XIII needed a new place to keep these old relics safe. F...
Father Mulcahy, M*A*S*H
มุมมอง 199วันที่ผ่านมา
Father Mulcahy, Army chaplain of the M*A*S*H 4077, was perhaps the most important priest on network television not named Fulton Sheen. He was a fictional character, and the actor who played him, William Christopher, was Methodist. But Father Mulcahy was an integral part of what made M*A*S*H one of the best television series of all time. He was a humble, real man, with his own struggles with pri...

St. Mary of Sorrows, Clara Barton, and the Red Cross
มุมมอง 6421 วันที่ผ่านมา
In 1862, Clara Barton got some of the experience which would lead to her founding the Red Cross. That year, St. Mary of Sorrows Church in Fairfax Station, Virginia, became a field hospital during the Second Battle of Bull Run - or Second Manassas, if you’re from the South. The church was only about a year old. The pews were pulled out to be used for beds around the grounds as thousands of wound...
St. Junipero Serra and the California Missions
มุมมอง 2421 วันที่ผ่านมา
St. Junipero Serra is considered the Father of California. He founded the missions that first brought the Catholic faith and modern agriculture and industrial techniques to California. He was a man of strict penitential practices. He expected much of those whom he evangelized, and had no patience for those who mistreated the natives for their own gain. Originally from Mallorca, off the coast of...
National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche
มุมมอง 1228 วันที่ผ่านมา
In 1587 Spanish settlers in St. Augustine, Florida established a shrine to Our Lady of La Leche. This was the first shrine to Our Lady, the Blessed Mother Mary, established in what is now the United States. This devotion to the Blessed Mother has roots that go back to the Roman catacombs. It was a favored image of King Philip II of Spain. “La Leche,” Spanish for “The Milk,” depicts the Blessed ...

Their hope was that since they moved in such a concentratio...

Went to Mass here today
I read that they asked Rene Auberjonois, the original Mulcahy in the movie, if he wanted to continue in the role but he declined. He didn't think the TV show would go anywhere! That's why Gary Burghoff's the only original actor to continue in the TV show. And yeah, Mulcahy's one of the best characters! I don't mind Rene Auberjonois, but I think William Christopher was the better one for the role, as you said early in this video. (MASH is one of my very favorite shows so I know every scene you were talking about!)
Fr. Mulcahy was always my favorite character! Nice podcast.

You mentioned that his son who did was called Kit Carson Cody. Kit Carson was also a convert of Catholicism, and loved his faith. He was one of the greatest fur traders, and scouts in American history. It would be great to have a Kit Carson, or even a "Catholic Mountain Man" episode: Jim Bridger, Tom Tobin, etc. Also a great priest and missionary of that time to the native and the mountain man was Fr. Pierre-Jean de Smet. He would also be a great episode.
Thank you for you episode on Bob Newhart. I would love see episodes on Danny Thomas (connection to the children's hospital), and Tim Conway. Both were devout catholics.
Thank you for uploading this for viewing, much needed.
Someone should leave a comment 😊

All these false religions we’re put upon us in slavery! Deurt:28:68 part of the curses upon the Israelites and is the entire book of deurt: read these curse and you should identify whom the people are! We lost our heritage meaning our land our names our identity, cause we as a people weren’t allowed to read or write for 360 in this captivity that we are still in this very day! Cause we we’re never free but only allowed to be let off plantations only to go through another 100 n something years up under oppression n never set back in our own land! Deurt 28:68 talks about going into Egypt again Egypt means house of bondage, slavery! But this time with ships 🚢! And once you get off those ship’s you w shall be sold unto your enemies for bondsmen and bondswoman and no man shall buy you, meaning redeem you! And you will worship other gods that your fathers have not known, and he shall put a yoke of iron around thy neck until he hath destroyed thee! Look on google yoke of iron around necks the only people you’ll see are the so called African Americans!
Net result was that eventually public schools were all integrated, and bigots could pay extra to send kids to Whites Only Parochial schools.
Hello. Are you familiar with Jack Chick materials about the connection between the Catholic Church and the KKK?
Oh sure, he made lots of crazy claims about the Church. The idea that the Church is connected to the KKK in some supportive manner is hilarious, even by Chick's standards, considering the KKK was the descendant of the horribly "Know Nothings" of the mid-1800s, and one of the most motivated opponents of the KKK in many places were Catholics. Check out the interactions between the KKK and students from Notre Dame. Or what a KKK leader did to Father James Coyle in Birmingham, Alabama in 1921. If there's any "connection" between the two, it was oppositional: the KKK hated the Church, and the Church opposed its goals and actions.
@@americancatholichistory7536I’m not even Catholic but yeah, the Catholic Church literally sent forces to fight the KKK in Mexico before.
haha! You got schooled!

I feel I should also mention, St. Mary of Agreda is the author of a incredible account of her visions in "The Mystical City of God"
Thanks for putting this up here. I had listened to this episode when SQPN posted it on Spotify but I picked up on a couple of details this time that I missed before.
Of course! And just FYI, SQPN has taken down their American Catholic History podcast channel, but we have put our own up there, with the same logo (minus the SQPN part, as on this channel). If you'd like to follow us there, here's the link: open.spotify.com/show/1f3YJG4D0CPH0xBERuU6pq
Woohoo! A new episode! 🎉
Thanks for listening! We put out another new episode today, we hope you enjoy!
I’m sorry to write here you had no place to contact under about. Could you do a story on The Ursuline Convent riots occurred 1834, in Charlestown, Massachusetts?
That is on the list for future episodes. Thanks for listening!
Mom! You are going to thoroughly enjoy this channel. Plus it’s an easy road to share with others who were practicing Catholic in the past.
Love it! And I was there! Thank you Noelle and Tom!
Thank you, Father! And we were so blessed to have you on that pilgrimage!
