Rooted, a Lenten series, discusses what it means to be human and encounter the real. Justin Perry and Krista Corbello offer their reflections on a "new theology of the body" in reference to what it means to be human, how we relate to the increasingly digitized world, the importance for being rooted in reality, and what makes us distinct from even the most advanced technologies. In this episode, we introduce this topic and its inspiration through Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum and the historical context of the Industrial Revolution, relationship with technology in the lives of the saints, finding balance between digital and incarnational realities, and share our overall hope for modern society amidst these changes and advancements.
