   Stewardship: The Church’s Administration of the Gifts of God’s People - Part One

   When God’s people give in faith, how should the Church honor that trust? Join Fr. André Mahanna, special guest Mary Flynn O’Neill, and Prof. Julian Dunraven for Part One of a candid conversation about generosity, stewardship, and accountability in the life of the Church. Stewardship is more than money. It includes the time, talents, prayers, and sacrifices through which the faithful sustain their communities. Drawing on Mary’s experience in parish life and administration, we examine the relationship between those who give and those entrusted with receiving, managing, and distributing these gifts. From parish collections to wider Church responsibilities, the conversation explores donor intentions, transparency, responsible oversight, and service to the poor. How can the faithful remain generous while becoming better informed? How can Church administration remain faithful to the sacred purposes for which these gifts are offered? With Our Lady of Fátima’s call to conversion and fidelity as our spiritual backdrop, our purpose is to encourage faithful stewardship, honor the sacrifices of God’s people, and strengthen service to Christ’s mission. Be generous. Be informed. Remain faithful to Jesus Christ. Part Two continues Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 7:30 PM MT. Subscribe and share this conversation.

   What is the Church's Money For?

   The Stewardship of the Temporal Goods of the Church The Catholic Church & Christianity Case — Part IV What does the Catholic Church actually own? Where does its money come from? Who controls it—and what is it ultimately supposed to accomplish? In this new episode of Irrevocable with Fr. André, Fr. André is joined by Prof. Julian Dunraven for an introductory investigation into one of the most misunderstood dimensions of Christianity: the stewardship of the temporal goods of the Church. Beginning with Scripture and the early Church, the conversation examines the difference between ownership and stewardship, the biblical warning about God and mammon, Saint Lawrence and the poor as the “treasures of the Church,” and the reasons the Church historically came to possess property, institutions, endowments and investments. The discussion then moves into the modern financial structure of Catholicism: Who owns parish property? What belongs to a diocese? What is the relationship between dioceses, bishops’ conferences and Rome? Is there really one worldwide “Catholic Church fortune”? What are the Holy See, Vatican City State, APSA and the Vatican Bank—and are they the same thing? Can financial power influence religious mission? Can the Church receive government money without becoming dependent upon government? The episode also introduces the financial-reform work of Cardinal George Pell and the larger question of transparency, institutional resistance, justice and due process. This is not an attempt to accuse the Church—or to defend every institution blindly. It is an attempt to ask the Catholic question: Are the temporal goods entrusted to the Church actually serving the purpose for which the Church possesses them—divine worship, ministry, apostolate, charity, and ultimately the salvation of souls? And one principle will guide the investigation: **The money belongs to the mission. The mission must never belong to the money.** Special Guest: Prof. Julian Dunraven Host: Fr. André Y. Sebastian Mahanna Broadcast: Wednesday, October 7, 2026 — 7:30 PM Mountain Time IRREVOCABLE WITH FR. ANDRÉ

   When Caesar Becomes Atheist - Can the State Kill the Faith?

   In Episode 3 of The Exploitation of Faith — The Catholic Church Case, Fr. André is joined by Prof. Julian Dunraven and Romanian pastor Ioan Peia for a powerful discussion about Christianity, government, persecution, and the freedom of the human soul. After examining Constantine and the dangers of political power enforcing religious belief, Irrevocable now turns the question around: What happens when Caesar becomes atheist? Through the experience of the Church under Communist Romania—from the suppression and control of religious institutions to imprisoned Christians, underground faith, the Ceaușescu era, and the events surrounding the Romanian Revolution—the discussion asks how Christianity survives when the state attempts to control the conditions under which faith may exist. Can government control conscience? What happens when churches cooperate with oppressive governments simply to survive? What can the persecuted Church teach Christians living in freedom today? And the theological debate continues: Who is Jesus Christ, why does the Cross matter, and can faith ever be imposed by political power? Join us for another important chapter of Irrevocable with Fr. André.
