EPISODE 5: Covid-19 in Light of the Gospel

In this final part of our exploration of the Church’s response to Covid, we look back over the lessons learned and ask: how do we move forward? After three years of dealing with overreaching government restrictions, what can Church leaders and Americans draw from this experience? We lay out the key areas where the faithful were most affected and discuss what solutions could possibly help to remember the victories and heal from the afflictions.     Covid and the Catholic Church is brought to you by the Catholic Accountability Project from CatholicVote.
