WOF 291: Parenthood, Children, and Freedom
Is parenthood suffocating or liberating? Do children keep you from self-discovery, or can they facilitate you finding your identity? Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt discuss those questions in light of two controversial articles about parenting, one in Time Magazine and another in the New York Times.
A listener asks, what does a priest go through that validates his authority for the sacraments?
