Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about the movies we miss. Movies are great! Carrying on the centuries-old tradition of storytelling, movies can entertain us, allow us a brief escape to feel refreshed, and even inspire us. But as parents we rarely get to PICK the movies WE want. So today we’re logging out of Disney plus, turning off Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and saving the veggies in VeggieTales for dinner. Because today, we’re talking about grown up movies.

Why did Jesus have to suffer and die? God could have just forgiven our sins, but God wanted to give us more than just acquittal—he wanted to gives us his divine life. Scott Hahn reminds us that because we’re in God’s family, our life—including our suffering—has meaning.

Our friend from down under, Monica Doumit, the Director of Public Affairs and Engagement for the Archdiocese of Sydney, shares another legal innovation from Australia, laws that are meant to protect gay people by making it illegal to teach chastity as Catholics understand it. We ask her what the laws require, and what the Catholic Church actually teaches about human sexuality.
