#5 - Responsibility Before Rights
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode explores the growing gap between rights and responsibility in modern moral life, and asks why responsibility has become so difficult to articulate. It examines where moral authority comes from, why societies have historically trusted the Catholic Church to speak on moral questions, and how responsibility, rather than entitlement, has shaped a vision of the good life grounded in purpose, community, and human dignity.
