How to be on social media without losing your soul

The Gloria Purvis Podcast

What's the real motivation behind that Facebook post or Tweet? Catholics–like many people today–spend a significant amount of time on social media platforms posting comments and articles, and some of them are divisive, hurtful or even violent. Fr. Josh Johnson, the vocations director for the diocese of Baton Rouge and a prominent young priest with a large social media following, analyses the spiritual pitfalls of social media and the unloving digital communication rampant in the Church today.

About Podcast

Too many voices are not being heard in the Catholic Church today. "The Gloria Purvis Podcast" is a new podcast from America Media hosted by radio personality and Catholic commentator, Gloria Purvis. The podcast centers the opinions, stories and experiences of individuals who have been marginalized in the Catholic Church and in society. A consistent ethic of life informs the conversations and honestly critiques narrow applications of Catholic teachings and ideological attitudes. It's not liberal, it's not conservative. It's all about fostering a culture of charitable dialogue around the most complex and contentious issues in the Catholic Church today. It's just Catholic. Episodes will release weekly.
