The Eighth Commandment: Rooting Out the Lies That Choke Our Lives – Ed Van Buskirk – 06/18/2026

The Catholic Morning Show

Ed Van Buskirk returns to The Catholic Morning Show to continue the Ten Commandments series with a striking reflection on the Eighth Commandment, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." Using the unforgettable image of a lie as a wind-blown dandelion that scatters and multiplies, he shows how falsehood enslaves us and damages relationships, while truth restores oneness and harmony. Drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas and Christ's declaration "I am the way, the truth, and the life," Van Buskirk calls listeners to humility, honesty, and the freedom found in living in the light.
