Fresh off an oyster-laden trip to Paris, replete with great
conversations about Live Not By Lies and a
couple of compelling "green shoots" of hope about Benedict
Option-style lay communities, Rod is on the road again to Warsaw.
He joins Kale to discuss his trip and his newfound renewal in his
vocation. He and Kale talk about discernment between carrying your
cross or laying it down, and the crucial element of credibility in
living out your vocation. Sacrifice and gift seem to be fellow
travellers. St. Galgano's story figures prominently in Rod's
renewed vision. Kale invokes Babette's
Feast.
They go on to chew on the latest woke eruptions, and then move
on to discuss the profoundness of institutional rot and capture,
especially as regards the church. Rod invokes a piece by JD Flynn
from The Pillar about Bishop Rick Stika, and then they go on to
discuss a searing and painful essay from Steve Skojec called
"Against Crippled Religion." In short, hurt people hurt people.
Where are our fathers?
