    Mar 9 2026

    The Catholic Church has a long tradition of praying to Mary and the Saints. This means asking for their help – their intercession – as we seek the love and mercy of God. Fr Joseph Owusu-Ansah explains the biblical and theological evidence of why praying to Mary and the saints is a fundamental part of the Christian faith.

  • What is Papal infallibility?
    Feb 9 2026

    Fr Stephen Langridge, the Parish Priest of St Elizabeth of Portugal in Richmond, answers the question "what is Papal infallibility"?

    As Fr Stephen explains, Papal infallibility is not about human authority; it’s about divine fidelity - the faithfulness of Christ to His Bride, the Church. It is one of the ways Jesus keeps His promise: I am with you always, to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20).

  • Is Mary the Mother of God?
    Feb 2 2026

    The Catholic Church professes that the Blessed Virgin Mary, who bore Jesus Christ in her womb, is the Mother of God – or as it is known in Greek: “Theotokos” – which means "God-bearer" or "Mother of God".

    But is this true? Is Mary really the Mother of God? Archbishop John Wilson guides us through Scripture, the Church Fathers and Church Teaching so we understand why it is so important to understand and believe that Mary is the Mother of God. As to deny Mary is the Mother of God is to deny that the Lord Jesus, our Saviour and redeemer, is himself God.

  • 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.
