Listen "Beyond The Dark Clouds Episode Eleven - Sir John Battle"
Episode Synopsis
Sir John Battle shares his theological perspectives on hope and asks whether it matters whether we are rich or poor in the face of some of the most challenging moral problems of our time. Sir John also argues that people of faith should continuously ask questions about how their faith translates into action. He argues for what Jean Guillett (advisor to Pope Paul VI) called a ‘approfundimento continuo’ (i.e. deeping) of our perspectives so that we can continuously engage again and again with truth in every age. He also applies this concept to the role and mission of the Catholic University so that it remains relevant and close to its primary mission in each generation.
