What does a lay vocation look like? We talk with Fr. Brent Bowen and Al asks if we are living in a New Tower of Babel. 

 

Kresta Comments: The New Tower of Babel

George Orwell once observed that“At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question.” What does this “orthodoxy” look like today? What so-called truths are we all supposed to accept? Al discusses.

What does a Lay Vocation look like?

The Church simply cannot reach its full apostolic effectiveness unless each of the baptized effectively discerns his or her personal vocation. And that vocation goes far beyond just discerning if we are called to single, married or ordained life. How do we go about doing this? We talk with Fr. Brent Bowen.
