Last updated on: November 9, 2021 at 11:01 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m re-joined by Father Blake Britton, the author of the fantastic new book Reclaiming Vatican II: What It (Really) Said, What It Means, and How It Calls Us to Renew the Church. Fr. Blake was a guest on this show exactly 100 episodes ago when we discussed Vatican II and what would, eventually, become this fantastic book. A book which has been sent, we learn, to every single bishop in the USA –... Read more

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by author, podcaster, and Catholic convert Tsh Oxenreider to unpack her incredible journey into the Catholic Church. Tsh and her husband Kyle met as missionary church planters, served and travelled with their family around the world, and eventually landed in the Anglican Church where they found the beauty and truth they were looking for in their Protestant Christianity. But, it wasn’t enough. Questions of, “Says who?” and “By whose authority?” kept... Read more

Last updated on: October 2, 2021 at 11:20 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by missionary, church planter, and organizational leadership expert Dr. MaryJo Burchard to talk about her incredible journey into Catholicism. It’s a wild one and really the title of this episode – and these show notes – just can’t do justice to what brought her into the Catholic Church and her insights, but we’ll try anyway! MaryJo was a pastor’s kid, a fervent missionary, and the wife of a church-planting charismatic pastor... Read more

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by Catholic author and columnist Eve Tushnet to talk about her writing, her journey into Catholicism, and navigating her the faith as a gay Catholic. Eve’s insights – living and writing from the heart of the Catholic Church about some deeply personal, and challenging, issues – are flecked with her trademark humour and self-deprecation and provide some incredible places to begin to understand the Church’s teaching, the role and place of...

This time, we continue to dig into the prayers, actions, and meaning of the Mass beginning with the second-half of Mass, the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
