The Gospel is Not Fake News - Episode 219

March 29, 2017

As Catholics we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. But more often than not, what's getting spread is Fake News, not the Good news. We evangelize a Jesus who does not exist—one who loves without condition, and without a standard; one who has mercy but no judgement. We preach or talk about a Gospel that's a fairy tale—half truths of the Gospel, or a summary of the full Gospel that's so incomplete, it's practically a fairy tale. And then some of us aren't spreading the Gospel at all. What should we be doing differently as Catholics in the laity and in the Catholic Church hierarchy? In the modern age, we suspect the "Good News" is bring spread throughout the world, but the fact is that more often than not what we're spreading is Fake News.
