In this week's episode I contemplate the grotesque scandals of Epstein in America and the Muslim grooming gangs in the North of England. And I ask what they have in common and what this reveals, from a Catholic perspective, about the loss of an authentic moral framework within modern secular Western culture.

In this episode I delve into some of the more surprising conversion stories in history to show how there is no place too dark for the light of Christ to penetrate. A good reminder in this season of Advent that God's grace and mercy is always more powerful than your puny sins- so take them to confession.
