"A tradition is best when it actually recognizes its worst examples from the past. That's when a tradition is robust."
What makes a tradition trustworthy? Not a spotless record, but the honesty to name its own failures. In this clip from the Good Faith Podcast, host Curtis Chang and Pete Wehner — writer at The Atlantic and a former White House staffer — point to the Catholic Church reckoning with the Inquisition and its role in the slave trade as a sign of strength, not weakness. A tradition that can lament, repent, and own where it went wrong is a tradition worth belonging to.
