This week we answer questions about whether Vatican II is where it all went wrong, is there a logic behind when a feast is celebrated in the Church's calendar and will those who haven't heard about Christ simply be damned? Find out how Fr Toby and Tim tackled these questions and more! 

Catholic journalist and author Simon Caldwell joins Anna Whitehead on air. Simon is the author of "The Beast of Bethulia Park", described as a "gripping psychological novel with Catholic themes". He explores the central themes and characters of the novel, and reflects in the second half of the episode on Catholic literature in general, and the role of Catholic novel in the 21st Century.

In this episode Professor John Rist and Edmund Zengeni explore the far-reaching influence of the North African Christian writer St Augustine.

Fr Toby on the dangers of anger and how to break free.

Are economists only interested in how to increase incomes, country production, how to profit-maximise and how to most gain on investments? The news and business media might make us tend towards thinking so. In 2019, the Holy Father Pope Francis wrote a letter addressed to Young economists and Entrepreneurs worldwide, and asked to meet with young men and women who are interested in a different kind of economy, the beginnings of the Economy of Francesco. He goes on to describe this as "one that brings life not death, one that is inclusive and not exclusive, humane and not dehumanizing, one that cares for the environment and does not despoil it." He desires to together "enter a “covenant” to change today’s economy and to give a soul to the economy of tomorrow." What would that kind of economy of tomorrow look like? How can we get there and are economists in a position to change anything?
