Episode #28 – Affluenza

What this episode covers

Have you ever caught yourself “keeping up with the Joneses?” It’s something that happens to the best of us. We have Bill Scholl , the social justice consultant for our archdiocese , on the show to talk to us about “ affluenza ” and how it affects our society. We feel that it is a very important topic as we move into the holiday season. To start off the show, we have Bill give us a re-cap of his booth at the National Catholic Youth Conference. For the thematic park, he put together a monopoly board to help high school students realize the faults in the immigration system. Learn more by visiting the NCYC virtual pilgrimage . In our news segment, we talk about the SQPN giving campaign and our own new t-shirts. Through your order for a t-shirt and through donating to SQPN, you help support our ministry and the ministry of SQPN so that we can continue to create these awesome podcasts. Our main feature of the show is Bill’s talk about affluenza . In our interview, Bill talks about how our mindset can be changed by those we surround ourselves with and how we tend to want things that other people have. To combat this, Bill gives some helpful suggestions on a few small changes that we can make in our lives this holiday season and also suggested reading How Much is Enough by Arthur Simon . Our Catholic Challenge this week is to implement one of those changes as a new holiday tradition. Looking ahead at next week, we will have Jeff Young, from catholicfoodie.com on the show to talk about Christmas traditions and food. It’s definitely a show you’ll want to look forward to as we will be sharing some of our own family traditions. Want to share yours, give us a call at 206-337-7945.
