WOF 165: The Gospel of Saint You

The Word on Fire Show - Catholic Faith and Culture

In this episode, Bishop Barron discusses a recent New York Times article by David Brooks titled "The Morality of Selfism: The Gospel of Saint You." It's a tongue-in-cheek affirmation of a culture that puts tremendous emphasis on self, self-care, and self-display. Bishop Barron explores some of the dangerous outcomes of such a culture. A listener asks whether it's helpful or troubling that the Catholic tradition includes so many definitions of God.
