Description

Have you considered how the rest of the world sees the Catholic Church in America? Have you ever wondered what's causing division among Catholics and how we can achieve unity? In today’s episode, we tackle this very topic. With a candid discussion on the rising tribalism within the Catholic community, we underline the importance of humility and communication, with one main collective goal - to get everyone to Heaven. We also scrutinize how the Church is failing to pass on the gospel effectively to the younger generation and explore the significant role Catholic bloggers are playing in disseminating faith.We welcome our guest Robert, who lays bare his views on the controversial topic of Međugorje, the grace that exists within it, and how God can manifest through even contentious visionaries.  Unpacking controversial behaviors of some bishops and the Vatican's leniency towards them, we compare the Vatican's contrasting treatment of Archbishop Lefebrve and Bishop Strickland, posing tough questions on the inconsistency in their approach.Expect miraculous stories too, as we recount the extraordinary events that led to the establishment of a Men's Prayer Group in Derry, Ireland, involving a rosary from Medjugorje and a car accident. This episode promises to be a melting pot of faith, controversy, miracles, and more. Tune in and let's navigate these waters together.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Support the showCheck out our new store!

Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity. As we see it, our job here at Avoiding Babylon is to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God’s Grace.  Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world, for as Hillaire Belloc has famously said:“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,There’s always laughter and good red wine.At least I’ve always found it so.Benedicamus Domino!”
