Summary

A generation raised on shifting standards is reaching for something solid. We sit down with Father Frank Pavone to explore why younger Catholic priests are embracing clear, biblical convictions on life and identity—and how that clarity is drawing Gen Z, especially young men, back into the Church. This isn’t a political pivot; it’s a move toward coherence in a time of confusion, where objective moral truth replaces the fog of moral relativism. We trace the cultural and spiritual forces shapin...

Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's The Wall Builders Show. Thanks for

0:10.4

join us today. Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton. You can learn more about us at

Later in the program, we got Father Frank Pavone with us, and I'm bringing along the airport announcer for my part of the show today, guys. Sorry, I'm in the airport traveling today, but we got a little bit of background noise. But anyway, Father Frank is going to be with us. You know, it's not just in the Protestant church where we're seeing young people getting more engaged, also in the Catholic Church.

0:38.7

Now, wait a minute. Is that a Texas airport or are you in enemy territory somewhere?

0:44.6

Well, that depends on your definition of enemy, because as long as I'm in Hawaii, I'm winning the

over to conservatism. Rett's getting married this week, guys. So my youngest is getting married.

0:54.4

I'm going to have all four married in just another day. Hey, congrats. That's good news. Congratulations. Yep. Thanks, guys. Well, if you have to be a missionary for Jesus somewhere, Hawaii feels like a good place to do it. If you're going to suffer for the Lord, you might as well do it somewhere like Hawaii, right? That's great.

It's a Catholic church has exploding as well.

1:30.1

Yeah, it's one of those interesting trends that caught my attention for sure,

1:35.0

because we've seen some things in the Catholic Church that kind of make you raise your eyebrow,

1:39.4

one of the Cardinals not long ago.

1:41.1

Big controversy erupted when he was going to give Dick Derman this achievement

1:45.6

award and a whole bunch of the younger priests and even the bishop said, wait a minute, wait

1:51.4

minute, this guy is one of the leading pro-abortioned voices in America, and you're giving him

1:56.9

this major achievement. And so there was a lot of pushback from a lot of priests at that point

2:02.6

in time. And that was significant because we've seen like the priest that is with Nancy Pelosi

2:08.7

in Washington, D.C. said, yeah, I'll give her communion. What, wait a minute, you're not supposed to be
