Caritas in veritate
We Are Catholic Unscripted
Catholic Unscripted is the authentic voice of English Catholicism, bringing faith into the heart of today’s culture and addressing the challenges within the Church with honesty, clarity, and hope.
Co-founded by Katherine Bennett and Mark Lambert, two cradle Catholics who continue to discover anew the extraordinary gift of faith passed down to us by our parents. This inheritance, received in childhood, has become the foundation of our lives and the wellspring of our mission: to proclaim the goodness, truth, and beauty of the Catholic Church and the transforming power of the Gospel to the world.
We believe in plain speaking. In a world of noise, jargon, and spin, we speak as the Church has always spoken—clearly, charitably, and without apology.
About us
Who We Are
Katherine Bennett: Raised in humble but spiritually rich surroundings, Katherine holds a B.A. in Theology from St Mary’s Catholic University, London, and an M.A. in Political Philosophy. A former stand-up comedian, she brings wit, warmth, and academic rigor to our discussions, especially as she articulates the complementary beauty of the feminine in the Church.
Mark Lambert: A theologian trained at the Maryvale Institute (where St John Henry Newman lived after he first converted). Mark originally studied business and engineering, working in facilities maintenance in the city of London & building several successful businesses but withdrew after the tragic death of his daughter. He is a veteran Catholic blogger and catechist. He remains undeterred by ecclesiastical controversy, having challenged corruption many times, and brings a breadth of international Catholic connections and insight to every conversation.
Together, we are joined in our mission by real Catholic priests and the brightest Catholic minds, voices dedicated to fighting in the cultural arena for souls, guiding hearts to the transforming power of Christ.
Our Mission
We exist to build the Kingdom of God as Christ commanded. Through thoughtful essays, lively conversation, and faithful commentary, we:
Share the Gospel explaining its timeless power with clarity and conviction.
Defend and renew Catholic truth in an increasingly secular world.
Uplift the Church by illuminating her goodness, beauty, and missionary purpose.
Equip the faithful to live out the faith visibly and vibrantly, in culture and in parish.
We write as we speak: without pretence, with conviction, and always rooted in the perennial teachings of the Church. Whether our tone is fiery or contemplative, every word emerges from our lived Catholic reality.
