Episode 101 — Borders, Belief, & Bethlehem: Fr. James Mawdsley on the True Meaning of Christmas
Today we’re joined by Fr. James Mawdsley for a necessary and timely conversation on faith, borders, and the confusion surrounding Christmas in the modern world.
We discuss Catholic teaching on immigration and national borders, whether Catholics may participate in Hanukkah, and why the true meaning of Christmas has been obscured by politics, sentimentality, and religious relativism.
Fr. Mawdsley cuts through the noise to explain what the Church actually teaches—and what Catholics are obligated to believe and live out. As the culture attempts to redefine Christmas into something vague, inclusive, and hollow, this episode re-centers the conversation on truth, doctrine, and the Incarnation of Christ.
