Episode 19:
Defender of Faiths, with Pierpaolo Finaldi

Can King Charles III continue the legacy of his mother by serving as an exemplary Christian monarch or will he find common cause with a secularist society against Christian values, particularly morality and the right to life?
In this 19th episode of the Merely Catholic podcast series for the Catholic Herald, Dr Gavin Ashenden talks to Pierpaolo Finaldi, the chief executive of the Catholic Truth Society, about the pressures that the new King will inevitably face when he attempts to accommodate the powerful but contradictory and often conflicting factions struggling for influence in 21st century British society and culture.
