Being Catholic #362: Authority in Crisis: A Catholic Perspective on Society's Struggle for Moral Leadership

Catholic Spirit Radio

Join Bob Johnston on Catholic Spirit Radio's "Being Catholic" as he delves into the pressing issue of authority in modern society. In this episode, Bob, alongside his wife Lynn, reflects on the challenges that have emerged since the separation of church and state, leading to a crisis of moral authority in governance.

The discussion touches on the historical perspective provided by Thomas Molnar, a prominent thinker who critiqued the erosion of natural law and the rise of secular power structures. Bob and Lynn explore how these shifts have influenced contemporary political and social dynamics, particularly in the wake of recent elections.

Amidst the backdrop of political grandstanding and societal upheaval, the episode emphasizes the need for a return to transcendent values rooted in Christian teachings. Bob and Lynn advocate for a reflection on the principles that once unified Western civilization, urging listeners to consider the importance of a moral compass guided by faith.
