What do we mean by the phrase “Christians must live in the world without being of the world?” 

How can we lead people to an encounter with the Heart of Christ in an age of impersonal social media and screens?

Join us for this month’s episode of Catholicism 101 as we reflect on a lesser-known letter from Pope Francis on the importance of literature in encountering the human heart, as “nothing that is human is indifferent to us.” (Letter of the Holy Father on the Role of Literature in Formation, 17 July 2024, para 37.)
