I just wanted to thank Maria for mentioning that “Write or Die” website. That is an awesome utility!

Hello Dr. Camarata,

I’ve been catching up on your show over the last week. I just finished listening to the show on St. Don Bosco and toward the end of the show, in response to listener feedback, you remarked that you had contemplated giving up the show. Yikes! Well, though the thought is sad I can see a time when that will happen. As a great fan of the show may I ask: perhaps when you leave your podcasting closet you can hand off the show to someone else? (They’ll need their own closet, of course.)

Blessings to you!
Beth

Thanks for the info Lego Batman, Fr. Have you played Lego Indiana Jones? While I really enjoyed Lego Star Wars, for some reason I couldn’t get into the Indy game…because of that, I’ve avoided Batman.

What an awesome show! Food Network should pay attention! You don’t have to be Catholic to appreciate the encouragement that Fr Leo brings to every faith.

Thank you for listening. I have a new recorder for the podcasts which indeed has helped tremendously.

Comment on Catholic:Under The Hood #212 – The Coming of the Great Monarch by Fr. Seraphim Beshoner, TOR

Thomas,

In regards to the case of Josef Fritzl. I don’t know much of what the current situation is regarding him and his family. My German is pretty bad and I can’t follow the national newspapers. Of course we pray for everyone involved in this horrible tragedy and pray for their healing.

In regards to the coming of the anti-Christ. The Catholic Church teaches that the anti-Christ will indeed one day come but also warns us that the coming of the anti-Christ is anticipated every time we deny Christ and seek to make the kingdom of God ourselves. The danger of see the anti-Christ only as a person risks us not recognizing the spirit of the anti-Christ in anything that leads us to glorify ourselves and humanity at the expense of God.

Is Fr. Roderick at NCYC? I’ve been following him on YouTube. My parents emigrated from the Netherlands in 1960 and I have many relatives there. My daughter is at NCYC and I would love for her to meet Fr. Roderick. We are from Little Chute Wisconsin, which was founded by a Dutch Priest, Fr Vandenbroek in the 1800’s. I will be in Holland in April. Tot Ziens!! Harriette

In iTunes Breakfast with Fr. Roderick still shows up as the Breakfast Bunch. Did you miss updating something? My subscription went from Daily Breakfast to Breakfast Bunch without me doing anything and I suspect it will change to Breakfast with Fr. Roderick once you make the appropriate update, the sooner the better.

What a great show for the youth in Kansas. Lots of energy and a great sampling of what you offer. I suspect the SQPN Community is going to grow.

Roderick, now I listened the show, and indeed it’s great to have the old format back Thanks so much for that, and for all the other work you do for SQPN, Dutch TV, our parish, etc!

As for growth when we’ll be in heaven: I don’t agree on that. Growth implies that we can get better, i.e. that we are imperfect. This is certainly true in our earthly lives, and also in purgatory. But when we’ll be in heaven, we’ll be in God; we’ll have reached the goal that we were made for. Our theosis will be complete: in and with Him we’ll be perfect (the Latin word perfectus means: complete, finished, done, perfect, without flaw). We’ll love with the same love that God has, and that is infinite – no possibility ánd no need to increase it!

Father Roderick- I am sooooo happy that you changed back to just you! I was feeling the same thing about it not being “my Father Roderick”! I was trying it, but it didn’t appeal to me at all. I’m actually glad you’re doing a two/per week format, because when you did do the daily shows, sometime I would get behind in my podcast listening and was worried I was missing something. Don’t stress yourself out! I would rather hear from you when you can!
Our church lost our priest a year ago and it’s not the same now. We had our priest for 18 years and was very attached. He’s at another parish about 30 min. away so sometimes I go there to see him. So you are like my “surrogate priest”. I still go to weekly mass, of course, but you’re filling in where I don’t have the connection with our new priest yet.

Thanks and keep it up!!

Hi Father,

So glad you returned with BFR. The Bunch was a good idea, but was poorly done. 30 minutes makes for an ideal show. I believe it is you at your best and the 1-2 per week format should give you the time to be focused and present a very enjoyable and entertaining show. It was clear that the grind and pressure of trying to keep the show a daily production was too much for you with all of your other responsibilities.

Thanks for all you do

Thank you for the revert back to the old format. The difference to me was the old format felt like you are talking to me, while the Breakfast Bunch felt like I was listening to a group of people talking amongst themselves. I think it was a worthwhile experiment, and I want to thank your co-host, but I’m glad to have you back all to myself.

I like your idea of two 30 minute shows during the course of a week rather than one 60 minute show. That allows for a more lively format even though the segments are the same.

Father Roderick. . .
I am at a loss for words. I have become dependent on your show. I am reluctant to accept change however, when you look at the spiritual context of change, it is what most Catholics need. We hold on to old ways because we are comfortable with them and never allow new improvements to take place in our spiritual lives. Despite my reluctance to accept change every now and then, change happens whether or not I am willing to accept it. I have always thought your show was too good to be true. I am in admiration of all the efforts you put forth into your show, your duties, your spiritual growth, and health. You are unbelievably spiritual and real. Your podcast have changed me in ways that may not be measurable or noticeable, but like a ripple in lake waters, as it moves away that tiny ripple gets larger and larger. God Bless you Father Roderick and your listeners/audience.

Thank you so much for listening to the comments. When I heard this show I breathed a huge sigh of relieve. It is so wonderful to hear the old format again

Was not a fan of the “Breakfast Bunch”. The signal to noise ratio was very low. It reminded me of the happy talk morning radio and TV shows. This was the “Biggest Loser” that needed to be shed. The disparity of Skype quality with the the other hosts was distracting. It might have worked with perhaps one or two co-hosts, who were themselves podcasters, perhaps one in the US and another in Australia or NZ, but that would be hard to pull off scheduling wise.

Anyway, glad you were able to act quickly and put this behind you.

What Neff said! I totally agree that Breakfast with Fr. Roderick has always been more than mere entertainment, and even beyond inspiration. The huge objection to the fundamental change in format just goes to show how meaningful your personal interaction with the listener really is. After 700 episodes it’s no longer about content, but instead a familiar yet ever new and genuine talk with a friend. The honest, heartfelt tone of the show can rarely be found anywhere else. And yes, there is only one Fr. Roderick! Thank you for caring so much about your audience. It’s your job, but still — thanks!

Hi father, welcome back! And for God’s sake, please stay with us for at least another 700 episodes before you try another time to change this winning formula . I’m a bit sad that you decided to abandon the “daily” schedule but I’m still grateful you returned to your traditional format. Please remain with at least two episodes per week! You know, for us listeners… or well… at least for me, listening at your show is a bit like meeting a good friend. It doesn’t really matter if the “quality” is not always over the top, I just like to hear something about you and to hear what you have share with us! There are plenty good talkshows out there… but there’s only one Fr.Roderick. God Bless!

Still have to listen to this episode, but nice to see the positive reactions so far! I have a small request. You removed the link to Daily Breakfast and moved all DB-episodes to this new page. However, many sites link directly to your old DB-page. Now it gives a 404-error message (’not found’). Could you make a simple page there referring to this one (perhaps with automatic forwarding)?

By the way, a remark not related to your new show: what’s up with those sponsored links … “Jesus in The Urantia Book” … that’s pure heresy!

I am really glad that you brought back the old format. I listened to the Breakfast Bunch and it just didn’t fit. Thanks for changing your mind and bringing us the breakfast show.

Hello Father Roderick,

I applaud your decision. I was willing to give the new show format a month or two to see if I could warm up to it but am really really happy that you’ve have made the executive decision and the old format is back. I think the single host format with you is very much like wearing an old favorite sweater on a gray day as it just makes your feel very comfortable. Either that or your podcast audience is very resistant to change. Also, I understand the need to scale back with all of the endeavors you’re involved with and wish you the best. I’m looking forward to a long run with Breakfast.

Again, thanks for prayfully considering the feedback and arriving at this decision.

Read a little about her life in various sites, but it sounds like the revelations are really special. I’ll get one out on her in the future for sure!

Anyone know what happened to Fr. Roderick and The Daily Breakfast? I’ve noticed that it has been “off the air” for a while now,but I haven’t heard anything…is he on another trip?
