Being Human

Episode 224: From Uganda to Cajun Country: A Personalist Pilgrimage


Listen Later

What if the key to understanding who we are was hidden in cultures all around the world? In this episode, Dr. Greg sits down with theologian Jennifer Morel to uncover how different cultures—along with her own Cajun heritage—offer powerful insights into what it really means to be male and female. Through stories of travel, surprising discoveries, and deep reflections on Catholic anthropology, they dive into why reclaiming the truth of our embodiment matters now more than ever. Whether you're fascinated by theology, culture, or just what it means to be fully human, this conversation will inspire you to see yourself—and the world around you—with new eyes.

Key Topics:

  • Why Catholic anthropology looks beyond Western assumptions about gender and identity

  • The hidden treasures in every culture that reveal what it means to be human

  • What Cajun culture can teach us about matriarchy, gift, and authentic complementarity

  • Why embodiment—being male or female—matters for our flourishing and our future resurrection

  • The dangers of cultural pride and the invitation to learn from other traditions
