Breaking news this morning, Pope Francis removes Bishop Strickland from his diocese. We discuss this with our special guest, Mark Lambert, while also discussing his fascinating journey back to the Catholic faith. We navigate through the heart-rending pilgrimage to Lourdes, a challenge from a Baptist friend, and the critical aid of Catholic Answers in shaping his understanding of the Church in today's world.
As we allow Mark's story to unfold, we also address the elephant in the room - the tremors shaking the foundations of the Catholic Church due to recent controversial decisions by Pope Francis. We grapple with the implications of the trans baptism controversy and Francis's removal of Bishop Strickland. And in the face of all these, we marvel at the resilience of the faithful, who stick by the Church.
Mark's story serves as a microcosm of the future of Catholicism. Listen to our discussion on the need for smaller Catholic communities to live out the faith and how the lockdown has been a dress rehearsal for the future. Whether you're scared by the recent changes in the Catholic Church, inspired by the power of faith, or curious about the role of evangelization in today's world, this episode is a treasure trove of insights.
