De Omnibus Dubitandum Est.

Before anything else, I want to say how grateful I am to each of you who reads, subscribes, comments, shares, and supports this work. Your attention, encouragement, and prayers mean more than you know. Writing in this space is not a monologue; it is a quiet conversation, and we are deeply thankful to have you here. Today is the long-awaited day. In Jesus, God’s Son, we receive the most precious gift imaginable. Through His birth, we are reborn. Through His coming into the world, we are enabled to live in the light of Him who is the radiant light of God’s glory. Christ makes it possible for us, not merely to know about God, but to share in the very life of God. Read my Christmas Reflection in full HERE

Cherry Vann has spoken and the BBC have reported her words. She articulates one of the most common yet erroneaous assumptions of our age: That authenticity means doing what we feel comes naturally to us. Christianity has never agreed. Conversion to Christ is not the baptising of our preferences, desires, or instincts. It is the slow, often costly reordering of our lives to a truth that stands outside us. Jesus does not say “express yourself”, but “follow me”. That is why this debate matters. When Church leaders frame moral teaching as an attack on identity, something essential has been lost. The Christian life is not about doing what we fancy and asking God to bless it. It is about learning, sometimes painfully, that our desires are not our destiny. Explaining the goodness of that calling is not cruelty. It is not exclusion. It is the very heart of pastoral leadership. And it is precisely the task entrusted to bishops and archbishops. In our latest Catholic Unscripted article, we...

Bishop Richard Moth’s decade as Bishop of Arundel and Brighton has been characterised by solid administrative leadership, careful governance, and a sustained emphasis on social justice issues. Diocesan finances have remained broadly healthy, governance structures robust, and the diocese has avoided the kind of public crises that have so badly damaged trust elsewhere. In purely managerial terms, his tenure can reasonably be described as competent and stable. This steadiness, however, is inseparable from a particular ecclesial vision, one that has shaped Catholic leadership in England and Wales for over half a century. Moth’s most visible pastoral emphasis has been on criminal justice, prison ministry, and advocacy for the marginalised. This work is sincere, pastorally motivated, and rooted in genuine Catholic concern for human dignity. It also aligns very closely with the dominant priorities of the Francis era and, more broadly, with a social-justice-forward approach that emerged in t...
