  • 12/31: Tom and Erica don’t get it

    Clearly they don’t know how businesses work. Finally the country is being run like a business. Accountability and results oriented. To accomplish means negotiating strategic wins and losses. I give four stars because the two show that maybe they can learn. Course Tom just needs more life experience.

Dr. Scott Hahn on What Catholics Get Wrong About Politics | The Deep
Q: What advice do you have for Catholics families in hostile political and cultural landscapes?
Focus on joy, live out values that bring happiness, and actively engage in community and politics while practicing patience and understanding.
Why Is Modern Art So Ugly?! | The Deep
Q: Why is modern art so ugly? Can you just explain to me why? How did we get there?
The reason it's so ugly is because it comes from ugly thought. Art is dependent on thought, and where we lack real truth and goodness in our culture, we will also lack beauty.
The Future of Catholic Media is Here!
Q: How will Zeale be different from Truthly, Hallow, Formed, other Catholic media platforms?
