Today we talk about what freedom means in both historical and contemporary contexts, especially in light of America's Independence Day celebrations. We discuss traditions like fireworks, delve into the nuances of freedom as presented by Father Jeffrey Kirby, and reflect on pivotal moments in American history such as the Civil Rights Movement and Women's Suffrage. We also touch on the recent Supreme Court ruling about Donald Trump, the Capitol riots on January 6th, and the ongoing challenges within a democratic society. The episode concludes with reflections on how to responsibly use one's freedom in the modern world.
