Human beings are unique among all God's creation because of our capacity to know and, above all, our freedom to love. In this episode, we discuss what St. John Bosco's example can teach us about evangelization, what King Henry VI's pious fatalism can teach us about following God's will, and what John Paul II's "personalistic norm," like, even means. (Hint: it's all got a lot to do with love and respecting human freedom...but you already knew that.)

Opening music: “Suscepimus Deus,” entrance antiphon for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, from the 1950 Dominican Gradual, sung by Bros. Stefan Ansinger and Alexandre Frezzato, O.P., 2020. All rights reserved.
