In this episode of Logos Podcast, Fathers Max and Joseph sit down with Dr. Christopher Blum, professor at the Augustine Institute, to unpack the deep and often unnoticed influence of secular modernity on our hearts, minds, and culture.
We explore:
– Why secular culture replaces worship instead of rejecting it
– The dangers of replacing faith, hope, and charity with modern “virtues”
– How our phones and technology curate a false version of freedom
– What John Paul II, Ratzinger, and the Catholic tradition say about the modern crisis
– Why liturgy, contemplation, and metaphysics matter more than ever
Dr. Blum brings powerful clarity, humor, and wisdom to the conversation. Whether you're a student of philosophy, a young Catholic navigating culture, or just hungry for depth this episode is for you.
