  • Is the Catholic Church the Body of Christ?
    Jan 26 2026

    The Catholic Church proudly proclaims that the Church is the Body of Christ, but is this true and what does it mean?

    Archbishop John Wilson leads us through Scripture, the Church Fathers and Church Teaching to help us understand how we know the Catholic Church is the Body of Christ.

  • If God is real, why is there suffering and pain in the world?
    Jan 19 2026

    God is good. God loves you. God is love. These are truths at the heart of the Catholic faith. But, people often ask, if this is true, if God really is love, if God really is good. Why is there so much pain and suffering in the world?

    This is obviously a very difficult question, especially when you or someone you love has experienced or is experiencing pain and suffering.

    But in those moments, as Archbishop John Wilson explains, when you at your lowest, when you are feeling pain and sorrow beyond anything you could have imagined, the Lord Jesus is there with you. Suffering with you and for you, just has he did on the Cross at Calvary.

  • Is the Eucharist the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ?
    Jan 13 2026

    The Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ, is the heart of the Catholic Church. It is the “source and summit” of our faith and it is from Eucharist that the “Church draws her life”.

    But has the Catholic Church got this wrong? Did the Lord Jesus really mean the Eucharist is his body and his blood?

    Taking us on a journey through Scripture, the Church Fathers and early Christians, as well as Church Teaching, Archbishop John Wilson helps us to understand that the words of the Lord Jesus are not symbolism, the Lord Jesus meant it when he said "my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink" (John 6:55-56). The Lord Jesus was telling the disciples, and he is telling us, that in the Eucharist, he is with us.
