All Kinds of Catholic

This episode is the first of two brought to you from the We Believe Festival, recorded over the weekend. Listen in to hear about the goodness, truth and beauty of our faith, expressed at the festival though liturgy, talks, music, dance and being together. Pod guests explain why they came, what they found, and how their faith is sustained in daily life. One contributor, Carlos, said, ‘We can see how others live their faith and how we can inspire each other to live and walk together in this faith.’
Look out for part two, out on Wednesday 19th August, for a deeper conversation from the festival and a glimpse into the mini St Francis pilgrimage.

Emily shares her journey from a Catholic childhood and years as an altar server, through primary school teaching, to her current work supporting parishes and schools with social action. Hear about the Sunday afternoon parish Mass Emily helped to develop for people with additional needs and learning disabilities. ‘God has taken me in a different direction,’ she says. ‘I’m now meeting new people all the time… People experiencing homelessness, who are asylum seekers, people who are disabled, people who are lonely, or in poverty. I hope I can be that person who gives a smile or says, Need anything?’

In this conversation, Gail shares how gathering together with other Catholic people has borne so much fruit for her life and her faith. At age 11, on a retreat, she fell in love with Adoration, ‘It was all dark, with candles, and just the Blessed Sacrament, a brilliant white on the altar...’ Last summer through talking to fellow volunteers at the We Believe Festival, Gail was encouraged to begin sharing her photography skills and faith via social media. She says she is guided by Our Lady and inspired that ‘the beauty I’m showing is pointing to God.’ (And she gives a shoutout to Sancta Familia Media who feature back in Episode 87.)

Diego joins the podcast from Uruguay, where he lived next door to a basilica. Giving glimpses of Catholicism and the distinct theology of Uruguay and South America, he shares examples of practices that are important to his own faith. Diego sees devotion to Our Lady, being present with the poor, visiting those in prison and the elderly, ‘not as an obligation but as a joyful act of charity toward brothers and sisters, and a path to holiness.’ We hear about the work that goes into the books and articles Diego writes. He says, ‘My writing is deeply connected with my faith and the Bible.’

Andy grew up in the west of Scotland, where sectarianism meant he never met a Catholic until university — and then he married one. He describes happy but sometimes difficult times for the family: ‘In the sacrament of marriage really what I signed up for, was to be there when things weren't so good.’ Hear about Andy’s journey into the Catholic Church in Edinburgh, his parish development work, and how he uses social media to write about his experiences of God speaking amid the muddle of family life.
