Episode 80 Carol shares how she grew up in a home where concern for social justice was part of being a Catholic. As a young woman she continued learning to view the world ‘through the lens of the Gospel.’ Working for small organisations, listening to the voices of vulnerable women – and through her own difficult experiences - Carol explains how she became alert to how women had been treated in the Church: ‘It's both an emotional thing of exclusion, but it's also a justice issue.’ Find out how Carol answers the question in the episode title.

Episode 77 As a Catholic, when is it okay to compromise? Matt shares how his faith and his politics inform each other and how he understands compromise - and red lines. He believes wholeheartedly in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist – and also belongs to an ecumenical queer church community. He sees community as important to Catholic people, and a part of upholding dignity at work and reducing reliance on state-provided welfare support. But, Matt says, ‘We’ve lost that as Catholics.’
