Episode 166 — The Future Belongs to Catholics Who Build

Show notes

After returning from the Catholic Land Movement conference in Indiana, Dave sits down for a solo episode to unpack a week that raised some enormous questions about Catholic life and the future of our society.

What does the future of traditional Catholicism actually look like—and will it be built through strong families, intentional communities, productive land, and institutions of our own?

Dave also examines the Church’s new efforts to combat antisemitism, who will ultimately define what constitutes “antisemitism,” and what this campaign could mean for Catholic teaching, historical discussion, and public debate.

Finally, he turns to the Lindsay Clancy trial and the difficult questions it raises about motherhood, mental illness, criminal responsibility, and a society that increasingly leaves families isolated and overwhelmed.

Plus, details about a new book giveaway for viewers of The Backlash.

Faith. Family. Land. Responsibility. The Catholic future will not simply be inherited—it must be built.
