Manage episode 344627480 series 1932921
Employing true critical thinking in our current cultural environment requires no small measure of courage. Our guest today, Fr. Raymond de Souza, is no stranger to making his thoughts known in the public sphere as one of the longest standing columnists for the National Post (among countless other titles and accolades). Father de Souza shares with Jake and Brett his proudest commentaries published by the paper, how his critical thinking was developed at the family dinner table, and the importance of reading books by those you do not agree with.
Discussion Questions
- What stood out to you in this episode?
- How would you describe the line between courage and arrogance? How can we be more courageous with voicing our opinions while not becoming arrogant?

- The writings of GK Chesterton
- The writings of GS Lewis, including “The Problem of Pain”
