In this episode, we reflect on Pope Leo XIV’s comments on addiction. The Holy Father urges a commitment to prevention, addressing not only drugs and alcohol but modern addictions like pornography, gambling, and excessive screen use. We explore how addiction often grows from inner distress, isolation, and a loss of purpose.
Addiction isn’t just about behavior — it’s about a deeper hunger.
