Spiritual Beauty & Solitude in a Time of Subjective Truth

Ep. 117

What is Truth? The question asked by Pontius Pilate to Jesus Christ, the Truth personified. If you ask the world today, the truth is subjective and is defined by an individual's interpretation and feelings at the time. The Catholic Church's answer is that the truth is indeed objective and does not change with the spirit of the age. We talk about some of the ways truth is being revealed to us through church architecture and solitude & contemplation.
