How do humility and obedience shape our relationship with authority, community, and God?

Today, Dr. Michael Dauphinais and Pater Edmund Waldstein, a Cistercian monk and theologian, explore the role of humility and obedience in our relationship with authority, the church, and the common good. They discuss the balance between individual dignity and community, the necessity of authority, and how Catholic tradition offers a framework for navigating a flawed world while pursuing holiness.
