Hope in the Media – Why Can the Welcome Feel Warmer Outside the Church? – Fr. Eamonn McCarthy & Dónal O’Sullivan-Latchford

from Radio Maria Ireland · host Radio Maria Ireland

Donal O'Sullivan Latchford and Fr Eamonn McCarthy open with a listener's point they cannot easily dismiss: why does an evangelical church so often feel more welcoming than a Catholic one? From there it is Songs of Praise on faith and the senses, a children's minister in south London who tells Bible stories with sand, water and uncooked rice for children who find words a barrier, and the BBC's slow radio, which Fr Eamonn suspects is reaching for something real without knowing what. They also return to Fr Cyril Axelrod, a priest who is both deaf and blind, and to the nine months that sit between the Immaculate Conception and Our Lady's birthday.
