CATHOLIC VOICES MEDIA MONITOR: The face of English Catholicism

The face of English Catholicism

'Beyond Belief' on Radio 4 this morning was a state-of-the-Church discussion featuring Fr Marcus Holden of Evangelium, Francis Davis from the Las Casas Institute in Oxford, and Sr Gemma Simmonds of Heythrop College. There is some vigorous disagreement, as well as consensus. Well worth a listen here. Catholic Voice Edward Rennie (pictured) speaks of his conversion and values between 12:15 and 15:54.

Welcome to the Catholic Voices Media Monitor

This blog was created by the Catholic Voices project to record media coverage on the Church and related issues in the lead-up to the 16-19 September 2010 state visit by Pope Benedict XVI to the UK, as well as the visit itself and its aftermath.

It links to the good, the bad, the accurate and the inaccurate -- monitoring the journalism surrounding the visit. It also records what the Catholic Voices speakers' team, created to put the Church's case during the papal visit, has been saying in TV and radio studios, and in articles and other media.
