Human Bias, the Quest for Truth adn the Misuse of Ambiguity. Walsh & Ashenden discuss.

About this sermon

Both Sean Walsh and Gavin Ashenden have earned their living as academics in the Academy (Sean was a professional philosopher) and have come together to try and bring a Catholic mind to the difficulties of our contemporary cultural and ethical struggles. In this episode with the background of the difficulty of finding the truth about facts in the conflict in the Middle East, we look at the problem of the way in which the Catholic church's positioned on the death penalty has been reversed in the Catechism. This is as much about the authority of the Catholic Church, it's self understanding and it's integrity, as it is about the issue of the death penalty itself. In this episode we look at ways in which we can pursue truth and know it for what it is; and ask whether or not the Catechism has lost its authority; or whether the particular form of ambiguous wording saves the integrity of the Catholic Church at the expense of muddlng what it teaches on the death penalty itself. We greatly enjoy our conversations. We hope you might too.
