Welcome back to Part II of the conversation with Dr. Dermot Kearney, former President of the Catholic Medical Association in the United Kingdom.
Dr. Kearney discusses Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), a medical treatment deemed controversial by pro-abortion groups, that can help women who change their minds after taking the first abortion pill mifepristone. His work providing this treatment in the UK has faced significant opposition despite evidence of its effectiveness and safety, highlighting tensions between "reproductive choice" advocacy and medical ethics.
• Abortion Pill Reversal has helped thousands of women continue pregnancies after taking mifepristone, according to some studies and Heartbeat International
• When administered promptly, progesterone treatment has approximately 55% success rate in continuing pregnancies
• Opposition evolved from claiming APR was "junk science" to falsely stating women don't change their minds
• Critics attempted to portray the treatment as dangerous despite progesterone's established safety record for pregnancy
• Science supports abortion pill reversal with animal studies showing 80% success when given within 24 hours
• No increased risk of birth defects for babies born after successful reversal treatment
• Dr. Kearney faces professional challenges but continues based on scientific evidence and women's need for this service
• Women who contact Dr. Kearney receive factual information without judgment - 35% choose not to proceed with reversal
• Medical ethics requires respecting all human life and supporting informed patient choicesDr. Dermot Kearney is on social media: https://www.x.com/@dermotkearney3

Christian doctor Dermot Kearney shares his harrowing experience of being targeted by abortion providers and medical authorities for offering Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) treatment to women who changed their minds after taking the first abortion pill (mifepristone). His case highlights the intersection of religious discrimination and medical freedom in healthcare.
• Dr. Kearney and colleague Dr. Eileen Riley were investigated by the General Medical Council for providing progesterone treatment to women who regretted taking the abortion pill
• The complaint specifically cited their Catholic faith, claiming Catholics "could not be trusted" to provide appropriate care
• Abortion pill reversal has a 55% success rate when progesterone is administered promptly after taking mifepristone
• At least 62 UK babies have been born following successful abortion pill reversal treatment
• After fighting the case with legal support from Christian Concern, all charges were dropped when the GMC admitted they had no evidence of misconduct
• During COVID, UK abortion practices shifted to "pills by post" with minimal medical supervision and follow-up
• UK abortion providers receive substantial payment per abortion with minimal overhead for mail-delivery abortions
• 98% of UK abortions are performed under mental health grounds despite no evidence that abortion improves mental health
• Women seeking abortions receive no mental health evaluation before being approved for the procedureSupport the show

Do the Ten Commandments apply to all aspects of our lives, including the online world where the distinction between virtual and real actions often becomes blurred?
Let's hear Ed Van Buskirk, a big proponent of teaching the Ten Commandments in our schools and homes, explain how God's Commandments serve as a roadmap for happiness and meaningful relationships rather than restrictive rules.
• Truth is embodied in the person of Jesus Christ who declared "I am the way, the truth and the life"
• Pornography and online misconduct degrade God's masterful creation of the human person
• The culture's devaluation of human bodies affects real people with devastating consequences
• Parents should have ongoing conversations with children about the sanctity of their bodies
• The "11th commandment" refers to Jesus's Great Commission to share these teachings with others, to be disciples of Jesus and disciples of God's love
• Commandments function like rules of the road, providing freedom rather than restriction
• Simple ways to incorporate the commandments include displaying them in homes and using them for examination of conscience

for resources including free downloadable prayers and materials to help implement the commandments in daily life.

• The ministry's "God's Recipe for School and Family" program implemented in 56 Catholic schools
• Using family kits with puzzles and resources to make the commandments accessible and engaging

Unexpected blessings often emerge from life's darkest moments.
For Tammy Peterson, a terminal diagnosis opened the door to profound spiritual transformation, miraculous healing, and ultimately, reception into the Catholic Church. This episode pulls back the curtain on our conversation with Tammy and Dr. Jordan Peterson on the very day of her confirmation last year on March 30, 2024.
When doctors gave Tammy just months to live, she discovered the power of prayer through the Holy Rosary. On day five of a novena to St. Josemaria Escriva, she announced to her husband that she would be healed—a prayer that was answered on their anniversary. Her journey to Jesus through Mary led her to choose the confirmation name "Mary," and to embrace a new mission challenging the mainstream radical feminist narrative that has led to negative consequences for women and society.
Through her podcast, Tammy explores Biblical wisdom from Proverbs while offering young women an alternative perspective on feminine identity. She powerfully contrasts the "female heroine" embodied by Mother Mary—who was conceived without sin, and became the Mother of God, knowing Jesus' ultimate sacrifice—with what she terms "the whore of Babylon." As Jordan notes, "Young women are told more lies than it's possible to imagine," particularly about the value and necessity of motherhood. The consequences of these cultural deceptions, he suggests, are "catastrophic," leaving many women reaching their thirties without children and deeply unfulfilled.
The conversation culminates with reflections on "wrestling with God"—the unavoidable struggle with moral choices and conflicts of duty that defines human existence. "Life is the wrestling with God," Jordan states simply. For Tammy, this wrestling has led to a profound spiritual awakening and a platform to share feminine wisdom in a society desperately in need of healing.

Faith journeys often reveal themselves in unexpected moments of clarity. For Tammy Peterson, this clarity came during a poignant Good Friday service when she approached Christ's crucifix with tears streaming down her face. "I could see Christ was hurting every time I sinned," she shares, connecting this revelation to a profound experience she had in St. John's cave in Patmos, Greece, years earlier.
On the anniversary of her confirmation in the Catholic Church, Peterson reflects on her deepening spiritual journey with remarkable candor. The conversation weaves through Biblical women's roles, drawing stark contrasts between the choice today: The Virgin Mary and the Whore of Babylon. "Women are being commodified in our society," Peterson observes, referring to the latter depiction of women, seeing in this dynamic an echo of ancient warnings. Furthermore, she interprets the Biblical attention to Christ's feet as symbolic: "Women are the body of Christ, and we are the ones to bring people to church."
Perhaps most compelling is Peterson's thoughtful critique of modern feminism's impact on family life. In sharp contrast to the radical feminist view of domesticity as an imprisonment, Peterson sees the home and family as sacred space. The resulting societal shift has left many women childless, she says, often not by choice – a consequence she finds deeply troubling. Instead, Peterson recommends books like "The Way of All Women" and "The Little Oratory," emphasizing beauty and prayer practices that nurture both faith and family.
Whether teaching her granddaughter to pray the Rosary "one mystery at a time" or discussing theological concepts on her podcast, Peterson exemplifies a woman reclaiming traditional feminine wisdom in a modern context. Her message resonates particularly with mothers and grandmothers seeking to pass down faith traditions in an increasingly secular world. Ready to explore the sacred role of women in spiritual renewal? This conversation offers both comfort and challenge to those navigating the intersection of faith, family, and feminine identity.Happy Mother's to you all!

Thanks be to God! Our warmest thanks to each and every one of you!
Happy Podcast Anniversary!
As we mark one year of the Veil and Armour podcast, this episode invites you into a personal family conversation about creating spiritual retreats within the rhythm of daily life. Recorded during Holy Week but relevant year-round, we explore how the concept of "retreat" can transform our homes into sanctuaries of prayer and peace.
Drawing from a recent retreat experience, we unpack the Biblical foundations for spiritual withdrawal and renewal. Just as the Prophet Elijah received heavenly nourishment in the wilderness that sustained him for 40 days, we too, need spiritual food for our journey. The conversation shares practical ways to create sacred spaces at home – from establishing a simple home altar with a crucifix and candle, to carving out moments for family prayer and Scripture reading.
My children's questions about retreat life lead to deeper reflections on prayer as relationship. "Prayer is a conversation with God," we discover, "and heaven itself is a relationship." This perspective transforms our understanding of spiritual disciplines from obligation to life-giving connection. Like a muscle that strengthens with exercise, our prayer life grows more robust with consistent practice.
The episode takes on unexpected poignancy as we discuss Pope Francis's final Easter appearance and his death on Easter Monday. His example of carrying suffering with dignity while still ministering to others becomes a powerful illustration of the Easter message – that our sufferings united with Christ's passion lead ultimately to the joy of His Resurrection.
Whether you're seeking to deepen your family's faith practices or looking for simple ways to create moments of spiritual connection amid busy days, this anniversary episode offers gentle guidance and encouragement. Join us as we celebrate a year of stories and continue our journey together, supporting one another through prayer and shared experience in the seasons ahead.This episode was recorded in two parts, the first being on April 15, and the second part on May 2nd. There was a technical glitch to the April 15 recording which required a May 2nd updated ending.
Thank you for your understanding + God bless!

A Blessed Holy Week and Triduum to you all!
This week, we have a special guest co-host, Sheila' daughter, to introduce this week's special episode for Easter.
The power of the Easter Vigil—that "Mother of All Vigils"—shines through in this remarkable homily from Father Peter Turrone, delivered at Holy Rosary Parish in mid-Toronto, Canada. Beginning with the blessing of fire and preparation of the Paschal Candle marked with 2024, Father Peter takes us on a journey through salvation history that culminates in the cosmic significance of Christ's resurrection.
From Creation to the Fall of man, from Abraham's sacrifice to the Prophet Moses Moses leading the Israelites from slavery, the entire biblical narrative finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. As Father Turrone explains, drawing on the late Pope Benedict XVI's writings, Resurrection isn't merely reversing clinical death but represents something entirely new—"the first day of a new creation with a new heaven and a new earth," as G.K. Chesterton beautifully puts it.
This homily holds special significance as it marks the one-year anniversary of Tammy Peterson's Confirmation into the Catholic Church. Father Turrone speaks directly to catechumens and candidates preparing to receive the sacraments, reminding them that through Baptism, they become adopted children of God with the Father and Son dwelling within them. His words challenge all believers to bring Christ's light everywhere—from homes to workplaces to social media—despite the challenges of a culture that has often chosen "the path of the prodigal son rather than remain faithful to her Christian roots."
Whether you're preparing for your own journey into the Catholic Church, commemorating your Baptismal or Confirmation anniversary, or simply seeking deeper understanding of Easter's transformative power, this episode offers profound insights into the mystery at the heart of our faith.

What could a multi-million dollar Hermès Birkin bag possibly teach us about our Catholic faith? As it turns out, quite a lot. The way collectors prize, protect, and see these luxury handbags appreciate in value mirrors how we should view our familly, our spiritual life, and our vocation as wives and mothers —especially during the sacred season of Lent.
For busy women, finding time for prayer often feels impossible. Yet carving out just 15 minutes at the beginning and end of each day can transform our relationship with God. Prayer doesn't require perfect silence or uninterrupted solitude; it can happen while washing dishes, commuting on the subway, or feeding a baby. Just as a Birkin bag retains its value and can appreciate in value over time with loving care and protection of this prized asset, our daily tasks become pathways to sanctification when offered to God with love. It will also contribute to the development and enrichment of our relationship with God, and to our families.
The podcast invites listeners to consider a media fast this Lent—perhaps the most countercultural sacrifice in our digital age. By setting app limits or deleting social platforms altogether, we break free from comparison, perfectionism, and the dopamine hits of so-called "vanity metrics" of the number of likes and followers we get on our social media pages and accounts.This digital detoxification creates space for gratitude, genuine human connection, and deeper spiritual focus. Complemented by practical suggestions for almsgiving through decluttering, preparing extra food for those in need, and giving up unhealthy habits, this episode offers realistic guidance for mothers seeking to journey meaningfully toward Calvary, and towards Easter. Whether you're balancing career demands or managing a household full-time, these Lenten practices will help you invest in what truly matters—your eternal soul and those entrusted to your care.
Please subscribe to our podcast and YouTube Channel to help us spread the word about our podcast apostolate. Please share with a mother or friend who would benefit from the messages in this episode, and please join us in being brave, bold, and blessed this Lenten season.

The Heart of Gospel Perfection and escaping worldly perfectionism with best-selling author Colleen Carroll Campbell
Part 2 of the interview with Colleen Carroll Campbell
From the chaos of high-stakes politics to the serene wisdom of saints, Colleen Carroll Campbell's journey unfolds with compelling revelations. As a former White House speechwriter, Colleen discusses the unique challenges and spiritual awakenings she encountered working as a journalist and a presidential speechwriter, and as a homeschooling mother and as a Christian writer.
Together, we uncover how figures like St. Francis of Assisi and St. Therese of Liseux (affectionately known as The "Little Flower") have offered profound alternatives to the relentless pursuit of worldly success, challenging us to redefine true fulfillment through the lens of Gospel Perfection.
Discover how the virtues of humility, mercy, and forgiveness have guided saints in their pursuit of authentic love and spiritual growth. By embracing Gospel values, we explore practical ways to silence the noise of societal pressures and focus on nurturing a heart filled with Christ's love. From reducing screen time in preparation for the upcoming Lenten season, to understanding the powerful connection to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the conversation offers timely insights into living a life aligned with spiritual rather than material values.
Young people today are increasingly drawn to the authenticity of traditional Christian practices. Our discussion reflects on this cultural shift, with Colleen sharing her observations of the resurgence of traditions like the Latin Mass, and its impact on family life through education choices being made by families. Whether it's the rise of homeschooling or the pushback against modern cultural phenomena, there's a growing desire to reclaim solid doctrine and spiritual truth. Join us as we explore these currents and seek inspiration from saints to enrich our journeys and those of our families.This interview was recorded on Nov. 13, 2024.

Happy Thanksgiving and A Blessed start to the Advent Seasons!
In this week's episode, Sheila Nonato speaks with "Veils by Lily" owner and founder, Lily Wilson, about the return of the practice of veiling among some Catholic women in church.
Let's go behind the veil as we explore the renewed tradition of veiling among Catholic women with Catholic entrepreneur and mother of seven, Lily Wilson, the visionary behind "Veils by Lily," a company that has been making and selling veils for 14 years. Lily says she has seen a remarkable increase in interest in veiling, and the independent company's sales have increased from about 30 to 900 during their busy seasons, including Advent.
Thank you, Lily, for joining Veil + Armour this week!
For more info on Veils by Lily and their Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Advent Sale, please visit:
https://veilsbylily.com
Lily joins Sheila via video interview from Missouri. Discover how this ancient practice is gaining traction once again through a blend of historical reverence and modern expression. Lily shares her personal story of embracing veiling as a means of celebrating her dignity and reverence for the divine, all while making these beautiful symbols accessible to women of all styles through her business.
Unpack the layers of meaning behind this cherished tradition and learn why it has never been about inferiority, but about the unique dignity and role of women in the tapestry of creation. As we address cultural shifts and misunderstandings, especially in the wake of Vatican II, you'll gain fresh insights into how practices like the Latin Mass and veiling are finding new life among young adults eager for deeper spiritual connections. Our conversation also highlights the symbolism found in the Song of Songs, revealing parallels between love, faith, and the sacred relationship between Christ and the Church.
Our discussion takes a personal turn with reflections on the National Eucharistic Congress, where the veil's role in spiritual life was celebrated by many. Hear inspiring stories that underline the virtues of humility and strength, embodied by Mary, Our Blessed Mother, and how these resonate in today's world. Let's dive into the conversation as we explore the growing interest in sacred practices, why veiling can be an expression of a woman's feminine identity rooted in Christ. Lily makes a compelling case that veiling is not just as a custom from the past, and how it can be a vibrant expression of faith today, for the women who choose to veil in church.

To Jesus, through Mary: The Friendship Forged in Faith of Tammy Peterson and Queenie Yu
God speaks to us in many ways. From the gorgeous morning sunrise, to the joyful laughter of children, or a hospital visit from an unexpected guest.
God doesn't need any words to let us know of His presence.
We may not be aware of Him, but our Loving Father is communicating to us, reaching out to us, trying to get our attention, because He is calling us to Him.
Sometimes God's voice may be in different forms, and it may even come in the form of our daily crosses.
God waits for us to respond.
And in this powerful story, we hear of one such call and response.
***
When we ask God for miracles, God often sends people around us because we are invited to become instruments of God on this side of Heaven.
Five years ago, Tammy Peterson was given 10 months to live.
Doctors removed half of her left kidney and the cancer surgery was successful, despite the grim prognosis. And then a medical crisis that doctors couldn’t solve which landed her back to the hospital.
Queenie, an acquaintance at the time, came to visit her and brought her a Rosary.
Their friendship blossomed as they prayed the Rosary together at the hospital every morning for five weeks.
Defying all odds, Tammy Peterson survived and thrived in her faith and in her new life mission of seeking and speaking the truth in her podcast.
It was a full circle moment as Mrs. Peterson entered the Catholic Church this past Easter at Holy Rosary Parish in Toronto.
Queenie, a convert herself who introduced Tammy to the faith and to the Rosary accompanied her as her confirmation sponsor.
This story is about the apostolate of friendship, and how newly confirmed Catholic Tammy Mary Peterson was brought to Jesus through Mary.
Join us for Part Two when we look at the Cross and the meaning of sacrifice, and how Tammy's role in the recently launched "We Who Wrestle with God" book tour of her husband, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, was inspired by the search for truth and the perseverance of faith.
Thank you for joining us. God bless!

In this week's episode, we pay tribute to the military and their families, all the holy souls we have lost to war, on this Rememberance Day in Canada and Veterans' Day in the United States.
We are joined by Josh Canning @catholicjosh , Catholic entrepreneur, content creator mental health advocate, and Catholic father of 10 children. Josh talks about the cross of depression and navigating mental illness in his marriage with wife, Lisa Canning, The Possibility Mom, former interior designer on HGTV Canada, and Catholic business coach.
How do you navigate the turbulent waters of mental illness in marriage while staying anchored in faith and hope? Join us as we sit down with Josh Canning, co-founder of "Persevere Together," who courageously shares his personal battle with depression and anxiety. Alongside insightful discussions on Remembrance Day and the sacrifices of soldiers, Josh's story opens up avenues of understanding, showing how vulnerability and seeking help can pave the way for healing and strength. This episode promises a heartfelt exploration of balancing love, mental health, and the powerful role of community support.
The journey of supporting a spouse through mental illness is both challenging and rewarding. As we recount personal stories, the focus shifts to the essential role of mutual support and communication within relationships. We delve into the inspiring work of "Persevere Together," a ministry dedicated to empowering spouses in caregiving roles. Our conversation also highlights our participation in the Bell Let's Talk campaign, emphasizing the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. By sharing these experiences, we aim to offer hope and guidance to those navigating similar paths, reminding them they're never alone.
In our final chapter, we turn to the holistic approach of nurturing mental health through lifestyle changes. From traditional practices like cooking with beef tallow and making bone broth, to the grounding effects of nature, we explore how these simple choices can profoundly impact well-being. We also discuss the pitfalls of technology and the importance of mindful presence during family meals. Josh and Lisa Canning's journey with "Persevere Together" becomes a testament to finding holiness in suffering, ultimately inspiring others to embrace their own paths of growth and transformation.
