Spiritual Warfare is a Catholic podcast devoted to the unseen but very real struggle at the heart of the Christian life—the battle for the soul.
Rooted in the wisdom of tradition and the lived experience of the Church, this podcast explores spiritual warfare in a sober, practical, and faithful way. Each episode addresses the nature of temptation, the importance of prayer and virtue, the role of discipline and discernment, and the spiritual tools entrusted to us through centuries of Catholic teaching.
This podcast continues on the same feed previously known as Salve Maria. While the title and focus have evolved, the mission remains the same: to strengthen souls for the daily fight, encourage perseverance, and offer clarity in a world often clouded by noise and confusion.
Episodes are designed for listeners who seek depth without theatrics, devotion without exaggeration, and guidance rooted in what has always worked. No sensationalism—just the steady formation of the interior life.
If you are looking to grow in vigilance, interior order, and spiritual strength, Spiritual Warfare walks with you—one battle, one prayer, one victory at a time.
Yes, You are in the Right Place!

What is a vocation? Is it something mystical, reserved only for a chosen few—or is it something every Catholic is called to discover in their own life?” In episode 74 of the Salve Maria podcast, Fr. Matthew MacCarthy joins us to explore the beautiful mystery of vocations: how God calls, how we respond, and why living our vocation is the surest path to holiness.

What really happened to the Virgin Mary at the end of her earthly life? Was it death... or something far more extraordinary? 🔹 Why do some believe she never died at all? 🔹 What if the Assumption is more than just tradition—but a prophetic sign for your own future? 🔹 Why has this mystery been hidden in plain sight for centuries, yet rarely understood? 🔹 Could the Assumption hold the key to why our bodies matter—now and eternally? The world glorifies physical pleasure, youth, and instant gratification... but the Church has always known the body is destined for more. The Assumption is not just about Mary—it’s about you.

Every 25 years, something extraordinary happens in the Church. A door opens… And with it, a flood of mercy. What makes a Jubilee Year so powerful—and rare? Why does the Pope open a special door in Rome? 🔹 How can visiting a shrine during the Jubilee earn you a plenary indulgence? From biblical roots in ancient Israel to modern pilgrimages and plenary indulgences, the Jubilee is more than a celebration—it’s a sacred reset. A divine invitation to begin again.

There are three things the devil fears most. And one of them… hangs by a thread. Literally. In a world obsessed with crystals, protection rituals, and spiritual “energy,” we’ve forgotten the most powerful shield we’ve been given—one that has terrified hell for centuries. What makes the Brown Scapular one of the most feared sacramentals in all of history? Why did Our Lady appear in 1251 to deliver this tiny cloth to a desperate man? What do saints, exorcists, and even the devil himself say about it? Could this be your sign of eternal salvation—and you didn’t even know it?
