Bishop Robert Barron | Understanding the Mental Health Crisis @BishopBarron | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 57 minutes ago.
Friends, we are in the midst of a mental health crisis, with many calling it another pandemic. Record-high numbers of Americans are facing depression and suicide. Nearly half of young people report feelings of persistent sadness or hopelessness. What’s behind this crisis, and how can the Church help? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show.”
A listener asks, is “just war theory” a concession to human weakness? How do we square that with Jesus’ teachings on non-violence?
