In Our Modern Dystopia, Take Up the Apostolate of Study (Fr. Justin Gable, OP) | Ep. 43

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Fr. Justin Gable, OP, a Dominican priest and professor at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (DSPT) in Berkeley, California. When he was interim President of DSPT, Fr. Gable delivered an address to the student body on the vital importance of the "Apostolate of Study" to our increasingly dystopian modern times. In this episode, he generously delivers this address again for us, and we discuss its contents in more detail.
