All Kinds of Catholic

Jacintha shares how her faith has been shaped by important encounters with others, through academic study, nursing, teaching, and now ‘being with’ companion members of the National Board of Catholic Women. Living with a chronic illness, as well as finding joy and beauty, Jacintha’s experiences reach into the messiness and suffering of life. She explains how, on accompanying each other in these moments, she has found that ‘The gaze is widened and you see the face of Christ.’

In this conversation, Anne-Marie, a palliative care doctor says that for her, death, while sad, is ‘ultimately not the end of the person’s spiritual life, of the soul.’ She explains what she has found helps to support people who are nearing the end of life, and their families. Anne-Marie shares the questions many people ask when they know ‘time is short’, and how people who are dying can take on a beautiful role, ‘a kind of parting gift to people…working through conversations that they no longer want to shy away from.’

The second of a two-part conversation with Roy Peachey. Although he admits being late to recognise our Catholic understanding that ‘parents are the first, the primary, educators of their children,’ Roy explains how his family have benefitted from home-schooling, with the support of others. Inspired by the start of the letter to the Ephesians, Roy unpicks the story of our journey ‘from before the foundation of the world to everything being united in Christ.’ Finally he reads from his latest children’s book about Jack and his ‘very chaotic’ family. A book that makes a link back to Mary’s Meals the wonderful charity where Roy also works.

The second of our 2-parter from the We Believe festival. Some All Kinds of Catholic pod guests are back! First, behind-the-scenes conversations with Alex, Ethel and Helena, members of the Catholic Podcaster Network, exploring who we are, what we do and why: ‘You can be sat there thinking, Is anyone listening?’ Then a chance to follow along on the mini St Francis pilgrimage, in the 800th year since his death, led by Phil McCarthy. He invited us to walk in silence. We listened to the words of St Francis, on gentle paths through the trees but as you’ll hear, we were never far from the joyful energy of the families at the Festival: ‘The fullness of peace and joy in your Son and in the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.’

The first of a two-part conversation with Roy Peachey. Starting out as an Anglican, Roy describes some hard knocks that ‘shook my faith.’ Then he made Catholic friends among teaching colleagues who ‘were very impressive.’ Via hospitality and good conversations at Ampleforth, Roy became a Catholic although at first in a somewhat minimalist way. Now ‘happy to be in,’ Roy describes how his Catholic faith informs his teaching, his writing and his broader understanding of the literature of well-known Catholic authors. Part 1 closes with Roy reading an excerpt of his latest novel for adults. Part 2 of this wide-ranging conversation is out on 26th August.
