  • Summary

  • Dr. Alex Lessard joins the podcast to discuss the organization Adeodatus, "an educational nonprofit organized to support the ongoing renewal of Catholic liberal education through conferences, community-building, publication, consulting, and due diligence."

    Dr. Lessard touches upon:

    • The importance of the liberal arts and the role of the Church in education
    • The whole-person approach to education vs. the utilitarian modern model
    • The true purpose of learning: the ascent to wisdom and knowledge of God
    • Why any scholar, when divorcing an academic field from its teleological end in God, loses expertise of the field itself
    • Resources for grassroots implementation of Catholic principles of formation
    • Technology in education: how we must control the tools lest they control us

    Listeners can learn more at adeodatus.com. The first of three annual conferences is taking place later this month.
