Is a Catholic Revival beginning? | In Conversation with Natalie Sonnen (Regina Magazine)

Is a Catholic revival underway? In this episode of Regina Unscripted: In Conversation, Katherine Bennett and Mark Lambert are joined by Natalie, as they ask why increasing numbers of people appear to be looking again at the Catholic Church. Across Britain, Europe and the United States, there are signs of renewed interest in Catholicism — from growing conversion classes and young people discovering the faith, to a wider hunger for tradition, community and something deeper than the culture around them. Natalie describes the moment as potentially being on the cusp of a “tsunami of conversions”. But what is actually drawing people back? And is what we are seeing the beginning of a genuine Catholic revival? The conversation explores the appeal of the Church in an increasingly uncertain culture, the importance of beauty and tradition, and the surprising ways people encounter the faith. They also discuss what Catholics can do to welcome those arriving at the doors of the Church — and why authentic Catholic community matters more than ever. As ever with In Conversation, the discussion ranges more widely too: from family life and Catholic identity to devotion to Our Lady, the importance of prayer, and the need for Catholics to support one another in living the faith.
