Episode Synopsis

In this conversation, we explore the importance of experiencing literature rather than just analyzing it, and the implications of Pope Leo XIII's teachings on labor rights and human dignity (cf. Rerum Novarum). We discuss the relevance of these teachings in today's context, particularly in relation to unbridled capitalism and the treatment of workers. The conversation culminates in reflections on the potential direction of the Catholic Church under Pope Leo XIV, emphasizing the need for a focus on human dignity and the common good.What Ya DrinkinBenromach 10Yr Single Malt Scotch WhiskyWoodford Reserve BourbonWhat Ya SmokinRocky Patel Renaissance Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of ArtWhat Ya ReadinAn Experiment in Criticism by C.S.
