The Catholic Current

We welcome back friend of the show Matt Archbold to examine the growing rejection of truth in our culture. What happens when truth is replaced by ideology, and how can Catholics remain faithful to Christ in a culture that increasingly rejects the good, the true, and the beautiful? Father finishes with Timeless Thoughts.

Fr. Robert McTeigue continues his "Novel Prophecies" series with Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, a novel about a society in which suffering has been largely eliminated at the cost of freedom, family, and individuality. What does Huxley’s imagined world tell us about the things that people are willing to give up for an easier life? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help prepare you for Sunday Mass.

We welcome back William M. Briggs, known as Statistician to the Stars, to take up the question of whether there are things we can know for certain about right and wrong.
