    Today, Anthony Ryan, head of marketing at Ignatius Press, sits down with Andrew Petiprin to discuss Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette Soubirous. This conversation is guided by his great love for Mary and St. Bernadette because it is through the Ignatius Press offerings that he came to know more about them.

    This conversation not only highlights the many offerings Ignatius Press has about the apparitions at Lourdes, but Tony and Anthony also discuss the history of Lourdes and how it impacted the actress Sydney Penny, the singer Jennifer Warnes, and the saint Maximilian Kolbe. We hope that you listen to this podcast and purchase on of our many offerings so you too can learn more about these miraculous events and the often-overlooked saint—Sister Bernadette.

    Feb 2 2026

    In today’s episode, Dr. Barber and Ben Eriksen discuss salvation—the reason Christ became man, died, and rose from the dead. Despite the centrality of salvation, Dr. Barber claims that Catholics don’t talk about salvation as much as we should and argues that our understanding of salvation is of great practical importance. He tries to dispel the common misunderstandings of salvation to foster greater conversion and evangelization.

    This extremely thoughtful and challenging episode is a must watch for all Catholics!

    Rediscover the literature classics with the Ignatius Press Critical editions.

    Get Your Ignatius Critical Editions here: https://ignatius.com/books/fiction-literature/ignatius-critical-editions/

    Sadly, many classical works of literature are poorly made and tainted with woke ideology in the introduction, footnotes, and explainers that distort the text itself. Thankfully, the Ignatius Press Critical Editions enable Catholics and all lovers of good literature to get their hands on a quality version of these great books. These books are not only well made but contain helpful introductions and footnotes to really help the reader get the most out of reading these texts.

    Today, Joseph Pearce, the series editor, joins Andrew Peteprin to reveal the inspiration behind these texts, why every Catholic should have them on their selves, and what works will be published next.

  • Who Influenced Aquinas’ Understanding of the Natural Law?
    Jan 19 2026

    Aquinas is the great synthesizer of the natural law, but who exactly is he drawing from? Today, Dr. Randall Smith joins Ben Eriksen to discuss the various philosophers and theologians who influenced Aquinas’ thought. Dr. Smith argues that Aristotle did not greatly influence Aquinas' conception of the natural law; instead, he believes that Cicero, Maimonides, and Philo of Alexandria were more pivotal. This enlightening conversation reveals the great depth of the natural law tradition and how we can contribute to this tradition in the modern era.

    Despite the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, abortions are still rising, and many are using abortion pills. But for those who take the abortion pill and then decide to keep their child, there is a process to reverse the effects of the pill pioneered by Dr. Delgado, who joins us today.

    Dr. Delgado has recently written “Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice,” where he details this medical innovation and several moving stories where women have decided to keep their child and successfully given birth to healthy babies. In today’s episode, he joins Rose Trabbic to give a brief overview of his background, his own growth in the Catholic Faith, the revolutionary use of progesterone, and the thousands of children he has helped give a second chance of life.

  • Guidelines for Sacred Music at Mass w/ Peter Carter
    Jan 5 2026

    If Liturgy is God’s gift to man, then sacred music should immerse us in the atmosphere of Heaven.

    Get Your Copy of Cardinal Sarah’s "Song of the Lamb" here": https://ignatius.com/the-song-of-the-lamb-slsmp/

    Cardinal Robert Sarah was the prefect of the congregation for divine worship from 2014 until 2021, and he has now published a new book "Song of the Lamb" which outlines his thoughts on the spiritually rich tradition of Catholic sacred music. This book was written in dialogue with Peter Carter as the two trace the history of sacred music in the Church and outline the guidelines for sacred music today.

    We are very grateful that Peter Carter joined Andrew Peteprin to discuss this momentous work and his active role in putting it together.

  • Grow in Virtue This New Year w/ Dr. Ryan Hanning
    Dec 22 2025

    This New Year’s, make a commitment to grow in virtue and get your copy of “The Willpower Advantage” here: https://ignatius.com/the-willpower-advantage-wpap/

    We all know that we need to be more virtuous, but it is not always clear how to get there. But thankfully, Dr. Ryan Hanning and Tom Peterson spell out the practical steps we can take to become more virtuous in their book “The Willpower Advantage.”

    Today, Andrew Peteprin sits down with Dr. Hanning to discuss how virtue can lead us to happiness. Dr. Hanning aptly argues that virtue is not about a list of rules and things to avoid; rather, virtue frees us and opens us up to be who God created us to be. While the path to virtue is difficult, it will not only lead us to live happy lives here on earth but also bring us to eternal salvation in Heaven.
