19. Marriage and Cultural Morality

Written By Pete Range

Episode Description

Peter addresses the Vatican’s statement on same-sex unions, how the media has responded, and how Catholics should approach this delicate issue. The military is considering altering the physical fitness test in order to allow more women to pass. Sexual exploitation has become more accepted than cartoon characters in the midst of cancel culture. And the way Catholics have played a role in the deterioration of morality. Brothers and sisters, we are called to be saints! So let us live the Gospel out in our lives.
