Behold I stand at the door and knock...The Princes of the ChurchWell, a special occasion! The feast day of two saints bumps aside the Sunday liturgy in Ordinary Time.

Also we know their words and their mind from the pages of the New Testament. But let us not forget that it is their love for Jesus and their holiness that brings us to celebrate their feast day.May these great...2025-06-2810 min

Behold I stand at the door and knock...We Believe AND We thinkThe Catholic faith has always been, and if it remains true to its traditions, will always engage our reason, our thinking.Much of what passes for informed opinion, even academic comment, these days does not rely on logic, careful reasoning, nor philosophy that has stood the test of time. The endless search for novelty and pleasure, and popular opinion found on social media, has clouded many minds from the rigours and rewards of actual thinking. It is as if our brains have been overriden by our passions. But this is not the Catholic way. As St...2024-01-1210 min

Drive-By CinemaDrive-By Cinema, Beyond The Infinite Two MinutesBeyond The Infinite Two Minutes is a Japanese sci-fi comedy about a café owner named Kato who discovers he can communicate with a version of himself from two minutes in the future through a computer screen. As the film progresses, Kato's interactions with his future self become increasingly complex and lead to some unexpected consequences. This is a low-budget, "one cut" style movie fascinates both Rick and Paul (who has terrible sound quality for some reason).

You probably know it well, but if not and also to enrich your understanding of the podcast, you might like to read from your Bible before listening. The Epistle of the Mass is Colossians 1:12-20.

Behold I stand at the door and knock...21st Sunday in Ordinary TimeToday's gospel reading is a hot-button issue for some non-Catholic Christians. But it is central to the identity and mission of the Catholic Church. The conversation of Christ with St Peter at Caesarea Philippi is the moment when Our Lord reveals His divine plan for the structure of the Church. It is to be led by Peter (and his successors) who will be the Vicar of Christ, acting in His name and with His authority. This is powerful and important stuff; and something every Catholic needs to know and needs to know how to explain. ...2020-08-2215 minBehold I stand at the door and knock...20th Sunday in Ordinary TimeThe Canaanite woman and her interaction with Christ, which is the gospel reading for Holy Mass this Sunday, provides us with a clear and detailed instruction on who Christ is as Saviour of all mankind.
