066: Crushing Modernism & Regaining a Catholic Worldview

Ever wonder how we got into the mess we’re in? Why is the modern world so opposed to the Christian faith? What went wrong and how do we get back on track? These are pretty tough questions, which is fine because I’ve got a pretty smart guest. Today on the Art of Catholic I brought in Dr. […]
