Join us on an enlightening journey as we discuss the upcoming Synod of Synodality with the extraordinary Gavin Ashenden, a former chaplain to the Queen of England. With his unique insights into the ancient tradition of the Royal Ecclesiastical Household, Gavin's conversation with us is a fascinating delve into history. Together, we also address apocalyptic optimism and analyze the spiritual conflicts in America, England, and France.
Venture into the heart of the matter as we discuss the anxieties that plague Catholic communities in America. We touch upon the fear that progressives have of real holiness and the power it wields against evil. Furthermore, we shed light on the challenges clergymen face within their parishes, particularly when it comes to speaking out. The role of media and how it impacts the narrative forms an integral part of our conversation.
Lastly, we steer the dialogue towards social gospel, progressive Catholicism, and the struggle for the truth. We explore the balance between acceptance and inclusion, specifically for the LGBTQ community in the church. Gavin tells us the incredible story of his journey from being an LGBTQ-affirming clergyman to a more traditional Catholic understanding of sexuality. In the end, we wrap up with an engaging discussion on the beauty of Christian sanctity, the importance of Catholic liturgy, and the challenges facing Christianity.
