My Mission Statement

May 11, 2020 Duration: 15:15

Growing up, the lounge room in my family home was a forum where my family would engage in all sorts of discussion - from debating current affairs, philosophy, and religion - to arguing over different sporting feats and accomplishments. For me, still to this day, the lounge room symbolizes warmth, enjoyment and the exchange of and testing of ideas. I invite you to come join me in the lounge room to discuss a diversity of issues, through a traditionally Catholic lens. Tune in to the Lounge Room to hear the chats, ideas, opinions, and problems discussed and problems solved. Lots of laughter, good red wine - at least I, myself, think it so - benedicamus domino!


Within the quiet space of this audio collection, you'll find a resource dedicated to the depth and tradition of the Catholic faith. Traditional Catholic Audio offers a direct line to foundational texts and weekly reflections, presenting audiobooklets from significant writers-clergy and laity alike-whose works have shaped centuries of thought. This isn't about contemporary commentary, but rather a return to source material, allowing the original words on spirituality, philosophy, and culture to resonate for today's listener. Complementing these readings are recorded Sunday sermons from Catholic churches across the globe, providing a diverse auditory experience of liturgical teaching and pastoral guidance from different communities. The content naturally spans topics of religion, society, and personal belief, all presented through a traditional lens. For those seeking substance over style, this podcast serves as an archive of enduring wisdom, a place to engage directly with theological and spiritual classics read aloud, and to hear homilies as they were delivered from the pulpit. It’s a deliberately straightforward offering for deep listening and reflection.
