    Vatican backs the Ordinariate

    Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode I ponder a wonderful document, produced by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith, which explores the patrimony of the Ordinariate and examines how it is working on the ground. It is essentially a huge boost to those of us in the Ordinariate as it represents indisputable backing from Rome as regards the work we are doing.   Support the show You can now support me on patreon.

    Hunger for God: a deep dive on fasting

    Epstein & the grooming gangs of England; a Catholic response.

    Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode I contemplate the grotesque scandals of Epstein in America and the Muslim grooming gangs in the North of England. And I ask what they have in common and what this reveals, from a Catholic perspective, about the loss of an authentic moral framework within modern secular Western culture.  Support the show You can now support me on patreon.
