The Political Path Forward: Get Married and Have Kids

Jessica Kramer joins the show to discuss a recent article she authored on politics and family formation. After briefly sharing her conversion story, she shares her observations from a recent policy conference she reported on, and describes several pro-family policies concerning pornography, contraception, a one-income family wage, and more. In her view, too, the Church can be robustly engaged in encouraging family formation: speed-dating in the parish hall, intentional formation in the isolating effects of smartphones and internet addiction, etc. Then she flips the script on Chris, and gets him to share some of his own family's inspiration for a renewal of family life in society.
