Troubling Trends of Catholic Influencers: Have We Lost the Plot?
Over the last few years I have noticed an extreme drop in discussing the internal life, only to be replaced on external fads, masquerading as spirituality. We must be better as Catholic influencers, and return to discussions on prayer, sanctity and the well-being of our soul. Rather than focusing on lifestyle preferences, and outward displays of devotion. Let's discuss these trends and what we can do about them. #podcast #catholicchurch #catholicism #Catholic #Rosary #Apologetics #spirituality #rosary #god #jesus #christ #christianity #mysticism #christianmysticism #saints #evangelization #JesusChrist #OurLady
