The Church's Radical Reform Podcast by Chris Lamb
Pope Francis has launched the most ambitious Catholic renewal project for 60 years with a listening exercise that aims to give every member of the 1.3 billion Church a stake in its future.
Through a "synodal" process, the Pope is asking Catholics to help re-imagine the future of the Church, and grapple with questions such as the role of women, evangelisation, priesthood, serving the marginalised and global governance. It has the potential to reshape the Church forever.
This is the first podcast series on "synodality" and will tell the story of the reform process. It is presented by Christopher Lamb, a journalist and author who specialises in the Vatican. He is Rome Correspondent for The Tablet and researching a PhD in the Church's synodal reforms.
The podcast is sponsored by the Centre for Catholic Studies, at the University of Durham, in partnership with The Tablet.
