Shownotes
In this episode, editor Mickey Conlon is joined by associate editor Quinton Amundson and reporter Luke Mandato for an episode brought to you by the digital edition of The Catholic Register. The conversation opens with a new resource from the Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue titled “The Theology of Church Apologies.” Mandato shares insights from his interview with Halifax-Yarmouth Archbishop Brian Dunn on the workings behind Church apologies and the crucial need for concrete actions to accompany such words. Conlon and Amundson each reflect on the Canadian church’s reconciliation initiatives underway across the country since Pope Francis’s pilgrimage in 2022. Mandato briefly discusses his conversation with Dr. Cody Groat of Western University about what meaningful reconciliation looks like from the perspective of those who have received apologies. The team turns to the troubling expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), including plans to extend it to those suffering from mental illness. Amundson reports on growing opposition. The episode shifts to a focus on Easter, with Mandato reporting on the growing Palm Sunday processions and Good Friday Way of the Cross events in Montreal, signs of a not-so-quiet Catholic revival in Quebec. Amundson shares a breaking update on the status of Bill C-9 as it advances to the Senate.
