About this episode

The episode discusses modern masculinity, the challenges facing Catholic colleges, and the concept of sacrifice in relation to Natural Law.

Segment 1: The Tates’ Warped Masculinity The Tate brothers have become a defining symbol of “masculinity” in today’s culture. And their popularity shows that our culture is hungry for true, Christ-centered masculinity – it just doesn’t know where to look. Marcus has more. Segment 2: Can Catholic Colleges be Saved? Since March 2020, over 70 public and private nonprofit colleges and universities have closed entirely, with nearly 50 more merging with other institutions. Other statistical trends suggest the future of Catholic colleges is unstable at best. Dr Randall Smith joins us with more. Segment 3: Sacrifice and the Natural Law (2 segments) The concept of blood sacrifice, so prevalent in the Old Testament, can be shocking to our modern eyes and ears. But it is deeply rooted in the Natural Law. We explore it with Michael Pakaluk. This is a public episode.
