Catholic Essentials: Why Truth Still Matters
Monday Nov 10, 2025
Monday Nov 10, 2025
Defend the faith with clarity and charity. Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM, joins Deacon Mike to show how the sacraments fortify every vocation amid secular pressure.
Fr. Wade Menezes of the Fathers of Mercy—host of EWTN’s Open Line Tuesday—joins Deacon Mike Beauvais for a substantive, pastoral conversation on living Catholic truth today. He explains the Fathers of Mercy’s history and itinerant preaching, then lays out how Baptism and Confirmation, sustained by regular Eucharist and Reconciliation, equip disciples in a culture that resists objective moral truth. Drawing from his book “Catholic Essentials: A Guide to Understanding Key Church Teachings,” he highlights its 81 concise chapters across morals, dogma, ecclesiology, sacraments, and liturgy, including faith and reason as “two wings,” the Magisterium and the deposit of faith, and a clear explanation of Transubstantiation. He also notes his men’s devotional “Stand Firm, Be Strong,” and previews his keynote for the RED-C Family Banquets. Follow the show, rate and review, and share this episode with a friend.
