Summary
During their recent trip to the US, Katherine Bennett and Gavin Ashenden aimed to convey the message that only Catholicism can meet the needs of the day. They discussed the importance of Catholicism in healing the body of Christ and emphasized the Catholic Church's commitment to the sacredness of the human person. They also highlighted the cultural crisis in the West and the need for Catholics to regain their confidence. The feedback they received from people included requests for mentorship and guidance in living the faith in an increasingly antagonistic society. In this conversation, Gavin and Katherine discuss Jordan Peterson's recent interview with Bishop Robert Barron and analyze his subtle affirmation of Catholicism. They explore Peterson's strategy of maintaining ambiguity about his religious beliefs while emphasizing the importance of the gospels and the struggle between good and evil. They also address the issue of the Catholic Church's credibility in light of the clergy abuse scandal and the need for justice and accountability. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the Catholic Identity Conference and the importance of not being deterred by guilt by association.
