    Please visit https://www.catholicunscripted.com/ to find out more The conversation covers various topics including the influence of Jordan Peterson, the role of Bishop Barron in providing clarity, the importance of truth and the face of Christ, the struggle to make sense of religious language, the rise of social justice and its connection to paganism, the rejection of Christian values, the desacralization of society, the coherence of Satanism, and the need for parents to resist false narratives and be close to their children. In this part of the conversation, Jonathan Pageau discusses the importance of teaching children about the narcissistic nature of society and the need for self-giving and generosity. He also reflects on whether society is getting darker or if it's just a perception of each generation.

He emphasizes the role of ritual and the church in bridging the gap between our experience of the world and the ideal we strive for. Pageau also explains the significance of communal worship and the importance of submitting to proximate authority.
