WOF 375: The Liturgy and Social Justice

BISHOP ROBERT BARRON
About this episode

Friends, we often find two groups in the Church in tension with each other: those concerned with the liturgy and those concerned with social justice.

On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss how to bridge this great divide, and why we should have enthusiasm for both the liturgy and the Church's social doctrine.

A listener asks, can you repeat the argument for God that persuaded you as a high schooler?
