The Traditional Family is God’s Instrument — a powerful reflection for the end of 2025 and the start of 2026 on the role of the family in God’s plan. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨ In this beautiful piece by Fr Sean Sheehy, we’re reminded that God chose a family — the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph — as His instrument in the world. The article explores why a stable, God-centred family — rooted in marriage between a man and a woman, is essential not just for society, but for raising holy, virtuous adults. It shows how the health of society flows from the health of the domestic church at home.

The Catholic Herald headline says: “Cardinal Pizzaballa: Germany’s Synodal Path is irrelevant.” But read the interview carefully and something more interesting is happening. Pizzaballa isn’t attacking synodality. He’s doing something far more damaging to it: he’s describing a Church that survives without it. From Jerusalem, the synodal obsessions of the West look strangely detached from reality. I’ve unpacked why this matters — and why the Holy Land quietly exposes the limits of our current Church debates — in the full piece READ IT NOW, CLICK HERE

We were deighted to be asked on to the US Podcast Avoiding Babylon which has a large following of younger viewers.

Is unity without freedom really heaven — or something far darker? I’ve just published a long-form review of Pluribus, Apple TV’s most quietly disturbing new series from Vince Gilligan. On the surface, it offers peace, harmony, and an end to conflict through a benevolent hive mind. But beneath that promise lie some profoundly unsettling questions: What happens to conscience when individuality is erased? Can there be love without the freedom to say no? Is a happiness built on mass death and coerced unity morally coherent? And why does this vision of “heaven on earth” feel so deeply un-Christian? In the piece, I look closely at: Carol’s resistance to conformity and the cost of conscience Koumba Diabaté as an unexpectedly profound witness to human dignity The Joined’s contradictions around consent, harm, and survival Why Pluribus ends up asking theological questions it may not fully realise it’s asking This isn’t a culture-war rant or a TV recap. It’s an attempt to read modern...

In this episode of Catholic Unscripted, we offer a careful Catholic reading of King Charles III’s 2025 Christmas broadcast. Taking his words seriously and charitably, we examine what the King affirms, what he leaves unsaid, and where his vision of faith aligns with—and falls short of—the fullness of the Catholic Gospel. Is this a Christianity of moral inspiration, or one of salvation? Can peace endure without truth? And what happens when Christ is praised as an example, but not proclaimed as Redeemer? Drawing on Scripture, Catholic theology, and the Church’s understanding of pilgrimage, hope, and reconciliation, this episode asks whether the King’s message gestures toward authentic Christian faith—or stops just short of its most challenging claims. Topics include: The King’s visit to the Vatican and the Jubilee theme Pilgrims of Hope Pilgrimage, memory, and sacrifice in Christian tradition The Christmas story: what is said—and what is missing Peace, forgiveness, and the limits o...

Watch our fascinating and detailed interview with Father Rosario Ebanks:

Before anything else, I want to say how grateful I am to each of you who reads, subscribes, comments, shares, and supports this work. Your attention, encouragement, and prayers mean more than you know. Writing in this space is not a monologue; it is a quiet conversation, and we are deeply thankful to have you here. Today is the long-awaited day. In Jesus, God’s Son, we receive the most precious gift imaginable. Through His birth, we are reborn. Through His coming into the world, we are enabled to live in the light of Him who is the radiant light of God’s glory. Christ makes it possible for us, not merely to know about God, but to share in the very life of God. Read my Christmas Reflection in full HERE

Cherry Vann has spoken and the BBC have reported her words. She articulates one of the most common yet erroneaous assumptions of our age: That authenticity means doing what we feel comes naturally to us. Christianity has never agreed. Conversion to Christ is not the baptising of our preferences, desires, or instincts. It is the slow, often costly reordering of our lives to a truth that stands outside us. Jesus does not say “express yourself”, but “follow me”. That is why this debate matters. When Church leaders frame moral teaching as an attack on identity, something essential has been lost. The Christian life is not about doing what we fancy and asking God to bless it. It is about learning, sometimes painfully, that our desires are not our destiny. Explaining the goodness of that calling is not cruelty. It is not exclusion. It is the very heart of pastoral leadership. And it is precisely the task entrusted to bishops and archbishops. In our latest Catholic Unscripted article, we...

Bishop Richard Moth’s decade as Bishop of Arundel and Brighton has been characterised by solid administrative leadership, careful governance, and a sustained emphasis on social justice issues. Diocesan finances have remained broadly healthy, governance structures robust, and the diocese has avoided the kind of public crises that have so badly damaged trust elsewhere. In purely managerial terms, his tenure can reasonably be described as competent and stable. This steadiness, however, is inseparable from a particular ecclesial vision, one that has shaped Catholic leadership in England and Wales for over half a century. Moth’s most visible pastoral emphasis has been on criminal justice, prison ministry, and advocacy for the marginalised. This work is sincere, pastorally motivated, and rooted in genuine Catholic concern for human dignity. It also aligns very closely with the dominant priorities of the Francis era and, more broadly, with a social-justice-forward approach that emerged in t...
