2w ago00:30:44Tap to summarizeIf families are weakening, communities are fragmenting, and government seems to be taking on more responsibility every year, who is actually meant to build a healthy society? This episode explores the Catholic principle of subsidiarity—the wisdom that responsibility should remain as close as possible to the people affected. Discover why parents are the first educators, families are the foundation of society, local communities have irreplaceable roles, and government exists to support—not replace—them. Through practical, everyday examples, we’ll see how subsidiarity protects human dignity, strengthens freedom, encourages personal responsibility, and offers a hopeful path to rebuilding society from the ground up. – Michael For more episodes on the Intersection of Science, Religion and the Modern World, click here.
