Dave “The Crisis of Reciprocity” VanVickle and I get real about the struggles we are facing in our parishes as we learn how to navigate sacramental and faith formation programs in a culture impacted by the pandemic. We discuss the relationship between renewal and reform in the Church, and explain how in the next couple of episodes we’ll be diving into an important recent Vatican document- The Reciprocity between Faith and Sacraments.
Snippet from the Show
“The Holy Spirit does the renewal in the Church, and people docile to the Holy Spirit then reform the Church.”
