Episode # 5480 – Father Koys On Pope Francis’s Approval Of Same Sex Unions

Father Koys is here once again and ready to wrinkle your brains with more insightful topics.  Today, he continues his discussion from last week on the family and also on the idea of losing someone precious to you, with the pain that follows, as well as anger and sorrow.  This connects to Father Koys’s call to young Catholics to get married in church because defending marriage is a cause worth fighting for.  He also shares disappointment at Pope Francis’s approval of same sex marriages. 

Episode # 5479 - The Two Tony’s On The Challenges And Consequences In Life

Due to Father Anthony having a lot of work to do, but he is feeling okay, this is a re-air from September 22nd and 1st.   Another popular show. Thank you.

The Two Tony’s return loyal listeners on this first day of September and they have much to discuss today.  They offer prayers for all that is going on in the world and with all the suffering and chaos around us.  Later on, they reflect on the recent Sunday readings and how they are related to what is going on around us and Father Anthony talks about challenging them, as well as reminding all of us that Life is a challenge and consequences to things.  They also point out that with these challenges and consequences, it’s a way to show what is the truth in terms of Life and things we go through, against the way we want things in Life to go.  In this discussion, it leads to talk about the Catholic worship to God.   

Episode # 5478 - Monday With Mary And Father Matthew Gamber

Due to the unfortunate and sad passing of Mary's good friend Father Matthew Gamber, this is a re-air from when he joined Mary on the show, way back in 2017 to honor him.  We at Winds of Change send our thoughts and prayers to Mary and to the friends and family of Father Matthew Gamber.  

It’s Monday here on Winds of Change and a Monday with Mary FioRito again and live today (or was at the time of the live broadcast) and  but today is special due to that today Mary is joined by Father Matthew Gamber from Saint Xavier Church in Cincinnati, OH and is a Jesuit Priest.  Father Matthew Gamber talks to Mary about his history becoming a Jesuit Priest, and what he had to do to become one and get ordained as well.  He also talks about his personal life, including that he studied and gained a Master’s Degree in journalism in school, and being a native from Chicago too.  With him being a student of journalism when he was in college, Mary and Father Matthew talk about lots of the books and magazines that they have read, which leads to discussing all the Catholic Fiction that is out there for all to read, with Father Matthew sharing his personal favorites, with many gripping stories on redemption, faith, sacrifice, conversion, and beliefs  You could say that May and Father Matthew share their own personal lists of favorite Catholic Novels and try to provide some interesting and very good summer reading lists for all to check out and read this summer.  One of the interesting choices on the list is The Lord of the Flies, which many read in high school or is usually on high school reading lists.  This also leads to talk about how these novels are translated into movies, as most successful books are, but like some, they might not translate well as others.  This also brings up some famous film makers and actors, such as Mel Gibson and his work.  With many of these novels in mind, Mary and Father Matthew share how not only Catholics can read these, but others who believe in different things can enjoy these too, such as Atheists, continuing a bit from Father Anthony’s previous discussion.  This also raises some points about how some churches are either closing and/or being demolished.  For more information on Mary FioRito and Father Matthew Gamber, visit online at:

Episode # 5477 – The Feast Day Of Saint Margaret Mary

TGIF with the Two Tony’s once again everyone.  Today, they are getting ready for the weekend and it’s hard to believe that we are in the middle of October already.  Today, the Two Tony’s discuss more on the anxiety and worries of many in the world, not only with the Pandemic, but everything in our lives.  Also, like yesterday, today is the Feast Day of Saint Margaret Mary and the Two Tony’s share her work and readings, just as they did yesterday for Saint Theresa, relating to redemption, renewing of the faith, and more.   

Episode # 5476- Renewing The Church And Our Faith

Thursday, with the Two Tony’s and an Armand, for Producer Armand has dropped by for a bit.  Today is the Feast Day of Saint Theresa and Father Anthony quizzes Tony on his knowledge of that Feast Day, which they go into some of her readings, reflecting on our faith again.  This brings to mind how Father Anthony has people visiting from the Archdiocese to renew the Church, which also relates to renewing our faith at times.  According to Father Anthony, Saint Theresa provides valuable insights to renewing our faith, along with the Two Tony’s sharing their thoughts and opinions on that.     

Episode # 5475 – Father Koys On The Greatest Difficulties In Life

Father Koys is back with us loyal listeners and his topic of discussion today is on one of the greatest difficulties in someone’s life: not following some of the Catholic guidelines for someone.  Mainly, this discussion is on the idea of marriage, family, and sexuality and how it relates to love, beliefs, and Catholicism’s view of these and how if someone has difficulty with these, the sense of tradition may be affected and the idea of Purgatory comes up here.  With looking at these, Father Koys looks back into history, December 12^th, 1863 to be specific, and Robert E. Lee’s speech on the cause.    

Episode # 5474 – The Two Tony’s On The Miracle Of The Sun

Tuesday with the Two Tony’s again loyal listeners and again, it feels like they have been gone a long time.  Today, they discuss not only how Halloween is approaching, as indicated by Producer Nick’s traditional pumpkin hat, but how Autumn is in the air and the leaves are turning and wind is picking up, even though the weather outside has been warm on some days.  However, after talking about a two birds attacking each other, this brings to mind talking about the recent Pet Blessing Father Anthony held, with many fun and cute pets and a good turnout.  After the prayer for the world and the upcoming election, on this day in 1917, there was a Miracle of the Sun and Father Anthony talks about that and how visiting is the skull cap of Pope John Paul the Second and how a lot of people are getting really stressed and tired of all the news going on with Covid-19.  Once again, this brings to mind our relationship with God and our faith toward Him, in how if we lose our faith, many things such as the nation, family, and other factors in life, may collapse, which in turn once again expresses the need to pray the Rosary.

Thursday with the Two Tony’s loyal listeners, for they have returned to us after almost two weeks of being away.  Father Anthony was and has been in meetings for the most of the week and those were done with the Archdioceses in order to collect data in terms of what is coming up for the Church, not only Saint Stanislaus, but also the Church as a whole.  On a different topic, the Two Tony’s discuss more of the readings from the masses and share the feelings they bring.  Father Anthony also points out more on our relationship with God.
