  • Summary

  • In this episode of "Being Catholic with Bob Johnston," Bob and his wife Lynn delve into Pope Francis's declaration, Dignitatis Infinita, exploring the concept of infinite human dignity and its implications. They discuss the philosophical and theological perspectives, particularly focusing on the views of Thomas Aquinas and the potential societal impacts of misinterpreting human dignity as naturally infinite.

    Additionally, the episode tackles a provocative idea: Should parents be given extra votes to represent their children in elections? Drawing from a recent article in the National Catholic Register, Bob examines the arguments for and against parental proxy voting, considering its potential to address the underrepresentation of children's interests in public policy.

    Join Bob and Lynn for a thought-provoking discussion on these critical issues, and stay tuned for a preview of next week's topic on the history and resurgence of populism in American politics.
