Last Sunday, Jesus told us ‘I come not to bring peace but division.’ This week, he promises ‘there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth,’ and in a few weeks time Jesus warns that ‘if anyone comes to me without hating his mother and father he cannot be my disciple.’ How can we make sense of these tricky passages from the Gospel of Luke? With Bishop Daniel Meagher

This week we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What do we celebrate and recall on this special day, and why is it a day of obligation? We’ll also take a broader look at the different things that we believe about Mary, and the implications of these beliefs for our relationship with her. With Bishop Daniel Meagher

Concluding our discussion of the Theological Virtues by examining hope and love. When we talk about ‘hope’ as Christians, what exactly are we yearning for? And what are the special characteristics of Christian love, and how can we be better at it? With Sr Susanna Edmunds, OP

Continuing our discussion of the Theological Virtues with a close look at faith. Where does our faith come from, how can we nurture it, and what’s the difference between ‘having’ faith and ‘professing’ faith? With Sr Susanna Edmunds, OP

This week we begin our special series about the Theological Virtues: Faith, Hope and Love. What is a virtue? And of all the virtues, what is it about faith, hope and love that make them ‘theological?’ With Sr Susanna Edmunds, OP

To celebrate our 100th episode, today we ask questions about the Catholic Church in Sydney. What was it like at the very beginning, and what have been the good and challenging times across the generations? We’ll also discuss the present state of things, and consider what we can look forward to in the years to come. With Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP

This week we continue our discussion about the afterlife. Do Catholics still believe in Purgatory? If so, why would someone have to go and how long will they have to spend there? We also talk about Hell, and how we make absolutely sure that we avoid it.

We all hope to go to Heaven, but how do we get there? Can we earn entry with good works on earth, or is it enough to have faith? And if God is infinitely loving, doesn’t everyone get to go to Heaven? With Dr. Robert Haddad
