Jake and Brett continue the conversation from last episode about what’s going on in the culture. The topics on the table are “cancel culture” and the digitization of everything, but most importantly how these trends affect the way of the heart.
Guiding Quote:
“The Church has always had the duty of scrutinizing the signs of the times and interpreting them in light of the Gospel.” - Gaudium Et Spes (4)
