About this listen
Fr Gavan Jennings is a priest of Opus Dei, the editor of the position papers, and a presenter @ctmcatholic .
In this conversation, we explore the evolving landscape of faith in Ireland, discussing the gradual decline of religious practice, the crisis of meaning in modern society, the importance of intellectual engagement in strengthening faith, the significance of personal relationships with God and the journey towards theosis, highlighting the role of laypeople in revitalising the Catholic Church and the joy that comes from living a life aligned with faith.
*We had some technical difficulties hence Fr Gavan's miraculous background change halfway through.
