Episode description
Dr Gavin Ashenden is joined for this 46th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald, by Ryan Christopher, the director of ADF UK, a faith-based legal advocacy organisation defending fundamental freedoms and human dignity.
They discuss the rapid erosion of freedom of speech and its causes and what might be done to reverse such a trend as well as how to defend and uphold other authentic human rights.
Mr Christopher, a former seminarian, also reflects on contemporary challenges to the priestly ministry and parish life and offers some insights on ways in which Christian life and culture might be renewed in the post-modern era.
