In an era where nearly half of practising Catholics question the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, it's fair to be concerned about the vitality of the Catholic Church. In the first episode of Season 2 of our Into the Truth podcast, Professor Stephen Bullivant of St Mary's University, Twickenham, explores the decline of Christianity in Britain, examining factors such as the aftermath of Vatican II and the challenges posed by the pandemic, alongside the Church's response to these pressing issues.

Despite this seemingly pessimistic outlook, Bullivant sheds light on stories of hope and growth within the Church in Britain. Notably, the episode highlights the steadfast devotion of young Catholics, whose fervent embrace of Eucharistic Adoration and reverence for the Eucharist signal a promising future for the Church.Listen now to discover the profound significance of the Eucharist in contemporary Catholicism and to glean insights on navigating secularisation in today's world.
