Episode Synopsis

In Episode 6, Nick Chui takes us through his transformative journey, how he went from being an initial avid fan of the Holy Father in 2013, to even a skeptic at one of his lowest points as the papacy unfolded. He further shared that the Pontiff's visit to Singapore made a personal profound impact, which led him to recognise Pope Francis as a spiritual master in Pastoral Theology and Evangelisation.He dived into key themes including the Holy Father's inaugural Apostolic Exhortation - Evangelii Gaudium, Synod on Synodality, Pastoral Accompaniment, Religious Pluralism, and the Church in Asia. Nick also offered a thoughtful assessment of Pope Francis' legacy, reflecting on key hallmarks of his Papacy.Subscribe to Totus Tuus Apostolate for more conversations like this one: https://www.youtube.com/@TotusTuusApostolate?sub_confirmation=1Get free access to articles and other content on our website: https://www.totustuusapostolate.comSocial Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/totus.tuus.apostolate/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563797108302&mibextid=ZbWKwLWhatsapp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaPwzs5KmCPJ2wA1Tl11Telegram Channel: https://t.me/totustuusapostolateSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2jUKJau9BNjHEphEH8G37OTIMESTAMPS(00:00) - Intro(02:50) - Taking Risks as a Dialogue (05:22) - Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in Melbourne(07:00) - How Nick Became a Skeptic of the Holy Father (12:05) - Benedict XVI's Co-workers of the Truth (14:51) - “Coma” Stage(16:30) - Reforming JPII Institute (18:05) - Responding & Reacting (20:08) - “Be Angry, Do Not Sin”(21:18) - “Impacted by Singapore” Stage(23:10) - Why Did He Come?
