The Catholic Couple

The Biggest Lie Catholics Have Been Sold


Listen Later

The biggest lie Catholics have been sold is that we have to choose a side.

Traditional or progressive.
Conservative or liberal.
Truth or love.
Justice or mercy.

But what if the reason so many Catholics feel frustrated, exhausted, and even spiritually homeless is because Jesus never fit into those categories in the first place?

In this episode, Bobby explores the central idea behind his forthcoming book from Ave Maria Press,  Guardians and Prophets: Living a Both/And Faith in an Either/Or World.

What is a prophet?
What is a guardian?
Why does the Church need both?
And why does Catholicism refuse to choose between truths that belong together?

We'll discuss:
✓ Why Catholic social media feels so divided
✓ The difference between renewal and reinvention
✓ Why the Deposit of Faith matters
✓ How the Holy Spirit continues to renew the Church
✓ The danger of tribalism inside Catholicism
✓ Why dialogue is not compromise
✓ How to hold truth and love at the same time
✓ Why the future of the Church depends on both guardians and prophets

If you've ever felt too traditional for some Catholics and too open for others, this episode is for you.

Do you naturally identify more as a Guardian or a Prophet?
