The Promise and Peril of Social Media w/ Bishop Barron & Fr. Steve Grunow
About this episode
The episode explores the dual nature of social media as both a tool for connection and a source of tension and loneliness.
Few phenomena have ushered in a greater sea change in mass communication and human relations than social media. What at once allows us to connect with family, meet new friends, and engage with (not simply observe) the world around us can also create enormous tensions, foster disinformation, and cultivate loneliness. Is social media a blessing or a curse? And how can Catholics tap into its evangelizing power without losing their own souls? Join Bishop Robert Barron, Fr. Steve Grunow, and me as we explore the promise and peril of social media on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast .
