    122 Catholic educational leadership
    Oct 22 2025
    In this episode, Pamela talks to Dan Guernsey about catholic educational leadership. He explains: How do current leaders in Catholic schools experience this tension between managerial demands (budgets, staffing, curriculum) and the spiritual vocation of leadership? What practices or supports are needed to help leaders live into their vocation more fully? The importance of spiritual formation—in prayer, sacramental life, etc.—is repeatedly highlighted as essential to maintaining a strong Catholic identity in schools. In what ways are schools/dioceses currently providing for the spiritual formation of administrators and leaders? What barriers exist to implementing deeper spiritual formation, and how can they be overcome? What components should a professional formation program for Catholic educational leaders include, to ensure both fidelity to Church teaching and effective leadership? How might such programs be scaled or made accessible in dioceses with fewer resources? How can leaders ensure that policies, curriculum choices, staff hiring, and school culture all align with the mission of integral formation? Are there practices you’ve seen where the identity seems strong, or conversely, where it is weak or compromised? In what ways can church authorities better support the lay leaders entrusted with carrying forward the Church’s mission in schools?

    121 Catholics and the Environment: Beyond Laudato Si
    Aug 13 2025
    In this episode, Pamela talks to Dr Celia Deane-Drummond, director of Laudato Si about the environment. She explains: - How can we reclaim a spiritual and sacramental understanding of creation that is rooted in Catholic tradition rather than ideology? - What are small but meaningful ways everyday Catholics can live out this theology at home, in the city, or even in an apartment. - How does understanding creation as a dynamic, evolving process change how we treat the earth practically? Does it affect how we view waste, consumption, or even farming? -What are three practical practices rooted in Catholic spirituality that someone can begin today to “care for our common home” without burning out or being scrupulous? - How does the Eucharist shape our relationship with the natural world? Can living a Eucharistic life influence how we shop, eat, and waste? - Which virtue do you think is most lacking in how we treat creation—and how can we cultivate that in daily life? - If a parish wanted to deepen its ecological spirituality beyond recycling bins and solar panels, what would you suggest they do—liturgically, catechistically, or communally?
