• 89 - Love!

  Welcome baaaaaaaack it's Season 3!In this season, we're plumbing the depths of Catholicism and the Catechism, doing deep-dives into topics that we have only touched on previously, like the existence of God, the bible, the social doctrine of the church, and theology of the body. In this episode, we round off an exploration of the three theological virtues - Faith, Hope, and Love - which we began in our very first episode, by talking about Love. What is Love? Is it just a feeling? Am I obliged to love people who have harmed me, or who are committing evil acts?
