Catholic in America
Identity politics and tribal thinking has become America's dominant paradigm. Why has the respect for genuine civic friendship and the common good waned? What are the set of moral and spiritual principles needed to reclaim or reimagine what has been lost? How do we use them to make right judgments about our world and to move forward with clarity and joy? The answer is at the heart of the Catholic faith and its social doctrine: rediscovering our common identity as children of the Father, the One who created us for love. Join Jason Adkins, host of Catholic in America, to engage our own time, culture, and political milieu with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to explore how to live more fully Catholic.

Family Challenges and Cultural Trends with Tim Carney
In this episode of Catholic in America, host Jason Adkins interviews journalist Tim Carney about his new book, 'Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be.' They discuss the alarming decline in birth rates, the cultural and economic factors contributing to this trend, and the concept of 'civilizational sadness.' Carney argues that a return to religiosity and community support are key antidotes to creating a more family-friendly society. They explore the impact of modern parenting norms, the significance of family-friendly subcultures, and potential policy interventions to alleviate the challenges faced by modern families.
