Following the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School during Mass, guest-host Brooke Taylor welcomes Fr. Nathan Cromly to offer pastoral guidance. Fr, Nathan also reflects on the enduring witness of Saint Monica, a beacon of hope for parents whose children have wandered from the Faith. They also unpack the “trending” engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, exploring how Catholics can respond to cultural moments like this with grace and evangelize the beauty of sacramental matrimony. Brooke is joined by Dr. Ryan Topping, a former Mennonite who embraced the Catholic Faith at Oxford. Now one of Canada’s leading philosopher-theologians, Dr. Topping draws from the legacy of Cardinal Newman and G.K. Chesterton in his mission to renew Catholic culture. He is the Founder and Executive Director of the Gregory the Great Institute and a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal.
