The Coldplay Couple and Our Crisis of Shame

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse of the Ruth Institute joins Fr. Rob Jack to unpack a string of public scandals—from the "Coldplay Couple" to a persecuted priest—and reveal the deeper moral confusion gripping our culture. They discuss how the remnants of public shame still surrounding adultery may signal a flicker of moral awareness, even as the sexual revolution conditions us to hide and excuse sin. Dr. Morse challenges the foundational lie of that revolution: that you can do anything and nothing bad will happen. This conversation examines hypocrisy, justice, forgiveness, and the Church's role in healing.
