Continuing their conversation Secret Compound, Greg and Ed tackle the deeply personal challenges of considering Catholicism when opposition comes from within the home, particularly from a spouse. Responding to a listener's email about navigating a Protestant spouse and a complex marriage situation, they explore the emotional and spiritual dilemmas of pursuing the Catholic faith in a divided household. Greg emphasizes the Catholic Church’s teaching that salvation is fullest within the Church, yet not a binary exclusion of non-Catholics, using the analogy of concentric circles. Ed shares his approach of moving slowly and respectfully to avoid conflict with his wife, while Greg advises presenting one’s faith journey as a pursuit of becoming the best version of oneself for the sake of the marriage. They also address the high bar of Catholic teachings on marriage, acknowledging the pain of irregular situations and the crosses some bear, like a cantor who faithfully serves but cannot receive the Eucharist. This episode offers hope and practical wisdom for those wrestling with family dynamics while seeking the fullness of Christ’s Church.
