C&SI - The Irish Synodal Pathway: progress and purpose (TheWay.ie) - 21 June 2026 (S06E31)

On this weeks podcast C&SI partners up with TheWay.ie to bring you an update on the Irish Synodal Pathway. We had hoped to have Juliann Moran (the Synodal Pathway General Secretary) on with us but unfortunately Juliann is a bit under the weather at the minute. So this week we are sharing an interview with Fr Declan Hurley, Chairperson of the National Synodal Pathway, and Patricia Carroll, member of the National Synodal Pathway and Pastoral Coordinator for the Archdiocese of Dublin who discuss the progress made by the various working groups and explain the purpose and significance of the upcoming National Synodal Assembly.

In part one we have our regular run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends including Saints of the Week and we have some reflections this week from Martina Leehane Sheehan (from Ruahrest) and Monica Browne. 

In part three John and Shane have our weekly effort to share some thoughts with  you about the Sunday gospel which this week is from Matthew 10:26-33. 

On this weeks reflection Shane made reference to the German protestant pastor and martyr of Nazi's Dietrich Bonhoeffer. You can get a brief introduction to Bonhoeffer's discussion of cheap grace V costly grace HERE. Also an article to help break it down from the gospelcoalition.org HERE.
