Centre for Catholic Studies Podcast

In this Catholic Theology Research Seminar, Prof Clare Watkins of the University of Durham gives a talk on 'The challenge of ‘clericalism’: looking beyond clergy for a liveable theology of ordained ministry in the Catholic Church'. This seminar forms part of the Catholic Theology Research Seminar Series (CTRS). The CTRS is a regular forum for scholarly discussion of pertinent issues in the Catholic traditions of theology and Church. The seminar series ranges across the traditional theological disciplines (scriptural, historical, philosophical, systematic, liturgical, ethical and practical/pastoral), Catholic social thought and practice, and social-scientific approaches to Catholicism.
