Killer Rabbits and Gargoyles: What Medieval Art Teaches Catholics Today (#340)

Considering Catholicism

Ever wonder why medieval manuscripts show knights fighting giant snails or rabbits wielding swords? Or why Gothic cathedrals are covered in grinning gargoyles and quirky carvings? In this episode, Greg dives into a wild X thread that sparked a reflection on the medieval Catholic worldview—a universe alive with God’s purpose, where every doodle and stone figure meant something eternal. He contrasts their enchanted perspective with our selfie-obsessed culture, asking what our social media “marginalia” says about us and how Catholics today can learn from the faith that built cathedrals. Join Greg for a fun, thought-provoking look at why the medieval mind might just have something to teach us. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!
