In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by Bishop Athanasius Schneider to talk about what new Catholics, non-Catholic Christians, and even Catholics who have been around the faith for a long time can, and should, make of the current state of affairs in the Catholic Church.
How to thrive and live faithfully, following Christ, when it seems sometimes like the Church is in crisis.
How, and why, anyone should even consider becoming Catholic when it seems, some days, like the Church is a mess of confusion.
We talk about the roots of the current tensions in the Church, what it means for Catholicism going forward, why certain voices seem to crowd out others, and what hope there is for the future.
Not a pessimistic or negative conversation, Bishop Athanasius Schneider brings joy, hope, and a deep and abiding love for Christ and His Church in this fantastic interview.
For more from Bishop Athanasius Schneider, check out his new compendium of Catholic teaching Credo, out from Sofia Institute Press.
