The boys drink and review Calaminator, Crowhill’s homebrewed dopplebock, then discuss the surprising comeback of Catholicism.
What is a “rad trad”? Why are young people — particularly young men — increasingly attracted to conservative Catholicism?
“How Catholicism Got Cool” by Madeleine Kearns addresses this question. Reasons include …
- Transcendence and mystery
- Giving meaning to suffering
- Beauty, aesthetics, and the sacred
- Structure, discipline, and tough moral teaching
- Male identity and brotherhood
- Intimacy with God
- Rejection of the shallow alternatives
- Cultural credibility and intellectual depth
Is this a good thing for the culture? The boys discuss.
