Antipopes
When people hear the term “Antipope,” they often wonder, “Doesn’t the existence of anti-Popes prove that the papacy isn't real? Or they ask, “If there were rival Popes, how can the Catholics know who the real Pope is?”
The answer is actually quite reassuring. Rather than disproving the Papacy, the history of anti-Popes actually demonstrates that the Church has always recognized that there can only be one legitimate Successor of St. Peter. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.
Then go behind the scenes of Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic journey to Africa, where you'll witness the warmth, humility, and pastoral heart of the Holy Father.

There are many devotions and titles for Mary, but perhaps one of the most powerful is "Undoer of Knots." This devotion has worked in Fr. Chris' life more than any other and he will share with you the history and meaning of this important aid given to us by Jesus through His mother.
Our non-Catholic brethren often claim that our Catholic faith is not based on the Bible, and is even contrary to it. Not true, as Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains, sharing how the Catholic Church used her authority from Jesus Himself to put together the Bible as we know it today.
