Catholic Banter - #16 - Totally and Utterly Fratelli Tutti
play

11/15/20 • 44 min

This week, Jack and Lizzie discuss the latest Encyclical from Pope Francis. Yeah, it's like a really long letter where the Pope teaches us stuff - and this one's really good. It's got a lot to say about the world we live in. So, sit back as Jack and Lizzie talk about Francis, Trump, Biden, Nukes, War, Politics, and - of course - banter!
Here's the YouTube video Jack was on about!

This week, we're joined by our first guest, the brilliant Father David King, who gets in on the banter and talks to us about life as a priest in the lockdown, about his journey to faith and, most of all, about evangelisation.
How can we reach other people and let them know how amazing this whole Jesus thing is? What is evangelisation really about? And, what do vampires have to do with it all? Hit play and find out!
As ever, get in touch on twitter @CatholicBants, and if you're feeling nice and you like the pod, go give us a nice review somewhere.
Love ya :-)

Catholic Banter - #6 - When Faith and Science Make Friends
play

04/03/20 • 53 min

We're celebrating the fact that we're still in lockdown by asking if faith and science are compatible..?
I mean... (spoiler alert...) they are. They totally are. But it's worth having a listen to see how we get there!
Also - check out 'Easter Journey 2020' a beautiful set of reflections for young people, which Lizzie is involved in - https://easterjourney2020.wordpress.com
One more thing before I hit 'Publish'. A small mistake in the pod - Einstein had nothing to do with the 'God of the Gaps' idea. So there! If you spot any other mistakes, let us know and we'll look in to them.
God Bless, you lovely people :-)

Catholic Banter - #19 - Don't Baptise Your Grandchildren in the Bath!

02/05/21 • 39 min

Jack & Lizzie start their new series on the sacraments by looking - quite naturally - at Baptism. What is it? And how does it change us? What does it mean to be baptised people?
The book Jack mentioned isn't called 'What's in a name?' at all, but rather The Power of the Name, by Kallistos Ware

We're back! Admit it - you've missed us, right?
In this first episode of the new season, Jack and Lizzie go through the 'Discover Course' from CCO and talk about the Love of God.
Despite the title, the episode isn't actually really about the aforementioned Cory Asbury song, but here is the video Jack refers to.

Catholic Banter - [Summer Break]

[Summer Break]

08/01/20 • 6 min

Just a quick one to explain that we're on a summer break and we'll be back in September with some great new content.
To be honest, that explanationpretty much nails it, but you should probably listen to this very short trailer anyway. I mean, it's only six minutes of your life, it makes us look more popular and, you know... banter!
Have a good summer you lovely people.
As ever, we're on Facebook/ Twitter @CatholicBants and if you're feeling lovely, go give us a nice Five Star review!

Catholic Banter - #14 - Six Days a Priest (with Father Tom Kent)
play

07/20/20 • 32 min

In possibly our most awesome episode yet, we're joined by a brand new priest.
Father Tom Kent was ordained on Saturday July 11th, just six days before we recorded. He sat down to speak to us about his journey, his training, what it's like being a priest and whether (as Jack suggested) he looks at bread in a different way now he's got the power to turn it in to Jesus..?
A really moving interview, and a great insight into faith and priesthood!
As ever, get in touch on Twitter or Facebook @CatholicBants, and if you're feeling generous, go give us a Five Star ***** review!
