.
HT: Dave - thanks, amigo.

These are always a treat. I don't recommend listening to them if you're of a...how does one say?..."delicate" sensibility...regarding a blunt approach.

The One True Faith show is put on by (fellow Domer) Michael Voris, who also runs the RealCatholicTV YouTube channel. If you can handle it, it's well worth your time.

Best New Podcast of 2010

.
There are a few weeks left in the year, true, but I'm still calling it. The Best New Podcast of 2010 for Catholic types is....

*drum roll*

...Catholic Stuff You Should Know.

Run by a couple of Colorado seminarians, this podcast is funny, humble, pius and informative. Plus, the last one had a surprise e-mail by Archbishop Chaput!

So go, listen and enjoy learning Catholic stuff you should know.

P.S. - I recommend starting with the one about Stylites. Crazy, man. Crazy.

Same Sex Marriage: Why Not?

.
The hyper-loquacious and ever-ubiquitous Mark Shea writes the following:

Jennifer Roback Morse, one of the most reviled advocates of common sense in America, shouts into the gale force winds of "What could it possibly hurt?" attempting prevent us from reaching the "How were we supposed to know?" phase of history.

For more, check out the Dept. of Evangelization and Catechesis for the Diocese of Sacramento.

Will do! Episode 1 below, episodes 2-4 on YouTube.

Perrenial Scott Hahn Post

.
I'm putting a link to a page at Lighthouse Media. If you aren't familiar with them, spend a few minutes checking out their program. Basically, you put up a "free CD" rack at your parish (requesting donations, of course) and let people get free CDs with talks by folks like Scott Hahn, Tim Staples, Pat Madrid -- all the good ones. The up-front cost is kinda' steep but their experience is that donations cover costs quickly and your fellow parishioners get sold-out for Jesus in a hurry.

Another option is to just join their CD club and they'll send you a disk for you to listen to and hand on. Pretty easy way to evangelize, frankly. I've heard about 15 of the CDs and they've all been solid.

In any case, they're giving away free MP3 talk by Dr. Scott Hahn on confession. Check it thou out.

The Porn Effect

Just wanted to put out a reminder that porn is very real and very evil. Give this talk by famed Catholic author and speaker Jeff Cavins a listen, then go spend about an hour at The Porn Effect (register - Matt Fradd won't spam you). They have videocasts and additional free audio available for download that will either (a) help you personally or (b) will help you evangelize the culture, because believe me, if your life isn't touched by the evils of porn I guarantee it's in the life of someone you know.

The Pornography Plague

Written by Jeff Cavins

Jeff was excited to see the great work of The Porn Effect and so along with Ascension Press decided to donate this talk which usually costs $10 for free.

UPDATE: The folks at The Porn Effect would be glad to give it to you for free, but you've got to register first. No worries, though -- once you do you'll have access to a dozen or so additional talks. Now go be holy!

Michael Voris - The One True Faith

Double-barreled Catholic Michael Voris continues to shoot straight with his One True Faith show, but beware: they're On The Road:

On The Road

Episode One : Love in Truth
Episode Two : How to Change the World
Episode Three : Being Catholic
Episode Four : The Church and Modern World
Episode Five : Western Civilization

Everyone's hurting these days, but 501(c)3s are taking it on the chin. If you're willing, skip your Starbucks (offer it up) once this week and send the $6.23 to Michael Voris. Here's his donation page.

Institute of Catholic Culture

I've found me some good listening! Thanks to readers Lukas and Martin for sending in the Institute of Catholic Culture, a well-designed site with LOTS of free audio. Here's a talk by Fr. Paul Scalia (son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia) called Technology and the Tree that I enjoyed today:
