We live in an age of "broken mirrors"—a culture that retains the shards of Christian truth but has lost the coherent image of the whole. Hosted by Dr. Ryan Topping and sponsored by the Gregory the Great Institute, this 12-part series explores the intellectual and social paths to a renewed Catholic culture in North America. From the restoration of classical education to the "little platoons" of local friendship, we engage the wisdom of figures like Thomas Aquinas, Alex de Toquiville, John Henry Newman, G.K. Chesterton, George Grant, Roger Scruton, and the founders of the West’s Christian civilization to ask: How do we rebuild communities of virtue? How do we restore faith and a love of ordered liberty? Join us as we seek to understand and celebrate the rebirth of a culture that is traditionally rooted and vibrantly alive.
