    Does the world need a new 'just war' theory?

    In this week's episode I share my concerns that global conflict is in the air and ask if the complexities of modern warfare make a traditional understanding of just war theory somewhat obsolete and difficult to discern. Is it time for the church to update its teaching in this regard?

  • A blessing too far: when ecumenism forgets truth

    A blessing too far: when ecumenism forgets truth

    In this week's episode I ponder the scandal that was caused when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullaly, gave an apparent blessing in the basilica of St Peter in Rome and, more alarmingly, when a Catholic prelate appeared to accept it. Has ecumenism gone too far? Are we in danger of putting carts before horses? Do we cause confusion when we pretend to be more united than we actually are?

  • Vatican backs the Ordinariate

    Vatican backs the Ordinariate

    In this week's episode I ponder a wonderful document, produced by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith, which explores the patrimony of the Ordinariate and examines how it is working on the ground. It is essentially a huge boost to those of us in the Ordinariate as it represents indisputable backing from Rome as regards the work we are doing.

    In this Lenten episode I deep dive on the subject of fasting. It is a practice that was once entirely normative for Christians but which has fallen out of us for many. Is it time to re-evaluate our need for it?
