    #6 - Before the Rules

    This episode explores why Catholicism is so often misunderstood as a system of rules, and why that starting point misses what the Church is actually claiming. Drawing on personal experience, it argues that Catholicism begins not with moral demands, but with deeper questions about reality, human nature, and meaning. Only once those foundations are in place do rules make sense. The episode invites listeners to slow down, rethink their assumptions, and approach Catholicism in the order it presents itself — reality first, then meaning, and only then behaviour.  Send us a text

    #5 - Responsibility Before Rights

    This episode explores the growing gap between rights and responsibility in modern moral life, and asks why responsibility has become so difficult to articulate. It examines where moral authority comes from, why societies have historically trusted the Catholic Church to speak on moral questions, and how responsibility, rather than entitlement, has shaped a vision of the good life grounded in purpose, community, and human dignity.  Send us a text

    #4 - What Is the Church, and Why Trust It?

    This episode examines what the Church claims to be, and why it has historically asked for trust. Rather than approaching the Church as an idea or moral influence, it explores it as a living institution shaped by continuity, authority, and responsibility. By tracing how Christianity preserved truth through persecution, disagreement, and internal failure, the episode argues that the Church’s credibility does not rest on perfection, but on endurance — on its refusal to reinvent itself in response to power, pressure, or preference. The episode concludes by reframing trust not as blind belief, but as a serious response to an institution that has carried meaning across centuries. Send us a text

    #3 - Fragmentation, Authority, and the Cost of Division

    This episode explores how Christian fragmentation shaped my distance from faith — not through disbelief, but through confusion and paralysis. I examine the loss of shared authority, Britain’s Catholic past, the rupture of the English Reformation, and how the modern relocation of truth into the individual has weakened belief, community, and meaning. Against this backdrop, Catholicism emerges not as an easy answer, but as a demanding claim rooted in continuity, unity, and authority.  Send us a text

    #1 - Standing at the Door

    In this opening episode of Catholic Waypoint, Liam shares the personal journey that led him from atheism and cultural Christianity to taking his first serious steps towards Catholicism. Reflecting on community, history, identity, and the experience of attending Mass for the first time, this episode sets the tone for an honest, unhurried exploration of faith — learning out loud rather than offering answers.  Send us a text
