To celebrate our 100th episode, today we ask questions about the Catholic Church in Sydney. What was it like at the very beginning, and what have been the good and challenging times across the generations? We’ll also discuss the present state of things, and consider what we can look forward to in the years to come. With Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP

This week we continue our discussion about the afterlife. Do Catholics still believe in Purgatory? If so, why would someone have to go and how long will they have to spend there? We also talk about Hell, and how we make absolutely sure that we avoid it.

We all hope to go to Heaven, but how do we get there? Can we earn entry with good works on earth, or is it enough to have faith? And if God is infinitely loving, doesn’t everyone get to go to Heaven? With Dr. Robert Haddad

We know it’s important to take good actions, but what exactly does it mean to be virtuous? And if it’s good to be virtuous, why can it be such a struggle to do the right thing? With Fr Casey Cole OFM

Becoming what we receive. We know that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. What does it really mean when we take Jesus into us, and how does our reception of the Eucharist impel us to act in our communities and in the world? With Fr Casey Cole OFM

There is so much division and disagreement in the world. Political, religious, social and cultural divisions seem to grow wider every day. How can we be hopeful in the face of this division? Can our faith guide us, and what actions can we take that might make a difference? With Fr Casey Cole OFM

This Sunday is Pentecost. What are the origins of this feast, what was the impact of the Holy Spirit, and how can we recognise the Spirit today in our lives, in the Church and in the world? With Sr Michele Connolly

The papacy of Pope Francis was characterised by humility, mercy, and a focus on caring for the poor and for God’s creation. What will Pope Francis’ legacy be, and what should we expect from our new Pope Leo xiv? With Bishop Danny Meagher

Archbishop Fisher has called a special Synod for Sydney for Easter next year. But what is a synod, why do we need one in Sydney, and how can people in parishes and schools get involved? With Bishop Danny Meagher

The Jubilee of Jesus is eternal, and we can always experience God’s forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. So why do we need a special Jubilee year? And what is the relevance of the Jubilee in the Church today? With Dr. Robert Haddad
