Politics and Parenting

Genevieve O'Connor, MTS is joined again by Dr. Mike St. Pierre. They discuss politics, particularly in the throes of this election season, and how parents can and should engage the subject as Catholics with their children. Mike underlines the importance of forming Children in patriotism, and shares how even negative political propaganda can be used as a tool for teaching truthfulness and digital citizenship. Genevieve and Mike also present insights from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops on the relationship between Catholicism and politics. They examine how the Catholic Faith can form consciences--both in adults and children--to be sensitive to important political issues. Ultimately, they agree, our confidence as Catholics is placed on the Lord--and not on any particular political candidate.  Want to suggest a topic for the podcast? Fill out this form! God Bless.
