"Living without a community is like living without a soul." - Charles Rumore Mr Jason Craig of Fraternus and Sword and Spade Magazine returns to the Two Cities Podcast to discuss Catholic community-building. We explore modern family diaspora versus stability in rootedness; the genius loci; the lay vocation of hospitality; the monastic model, the question of American rugged individualism and communitarianism; corporate personhood and the industrialisation and denaturing of human needs.
