Episode Description
Avatar is once again the biggest movie in the world. Ripe with Catholic allegory and lessons for our role in the natural world and our relationships to its different peoples, this movie is way more than just a visual spectacle. Journey with us into the world of Pandora and the culture of the Na’vi. Awaken Catholic president Nick De La Torre joins us once again to talk about:
- is caring for the environment a liberal thing? Should conservatives care?
- Consumerism
- proselytization vs evangelization
- learning from atheists
- meeting Christ in the poor & marginalized
- what do we make of the Catholic Church’s role in colonialism and poor treatment of indigenous peoples?
- how did an atheist create a thoroughly Catholic allegory for the sacramental and Christian communal life?
- And much more!
