How do we break free from that which is keeping us in bondage or tempting us to addictions and further comfort?

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John discuss a great concern that parents and grandparents have when reflecting on the future of their children. Will they continue to be Catholic?

Should we censor ourselves then and only speak about non-divisive issues? Not if we are going to be faithful to the Truth of the Gospel.

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John discuss a great Catholic tradition of building and maintaining libraries.
