AFTERMASS: https://aftermass.org FREE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER: https://aftermass.org/#newsletter Taking September off from YouTube + the podcast 🤍 I’m giving myself the month of September to spend some real time working on AfterMass and a few other projects that have been sitting in my brain for a very long time. One of the biggest things I’m working on is aftermass.org . My hope is to build it into a real Catholic hub for everything that happens after Mass ends. Resources to help you understand the
The Ancient Israelite Law That Explains Mary's Crown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tomorrow, August 22, the Church celebrates the Queenship of Mary, eight days after the Assumption. Most Catholics have said "Hail, Holy Queen" hundreds of times without knowing where that title actually comes from or what it means in practice. The answer isn't in medieval royal courts.

Read excerpt
Padre Pio spent decades hearing confessions, and the sin he came back to most wasn't the one people expected.

Read excerpt
A team of Italian cardiologists put people on heart monitors and had them pray the rosary in Latin. What they measured surprised even the researchers: praying it at a normal pace slowed people's breathing to almost exactly six breaths a minute, a rate where the heart and blood pressure systems fall into sync. Separately, neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Newberg used brain scans to study what happens during repetitive, verbal prayer like this and found something worth knowing if you've ever finished a r
Fr. Mike Schmitz Explains What You Need To Know About Purgatory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Purgatory gets treated two ways: either as an overcomplicated invention or as something Scripture never actually supports. Both are wrong. Drawing on a video Fr. Mike Schmitz made years ago on Ascension Presents, I break down what purgatory actually is: three simple claims, real scriptural backing (1 Corinthians 3, 2 Maccabees 12) and why it's less about punishment and more about mercy finishing what it started. If you've ever wondered what happens to someone you love after they die.. or wondere
