Stories matter. We tell them to help us understand the world around us. But what if the stories we tell don’t mirror our Catholic morals? What if the lessons that they teach don’t agree with our values? Should we keep telling those stories?
Today Fr. Mike wrecks your childhood version of the Little Mermaid and spoils the ending of the real story. Spoiler: It doesn’t have a happy ending.
Listen to Fr. Mike’s new podcast, The Catechism in a Year!
If you have ever wanted to understand what it means to be Catholic and allow those truths to shape your life—this podcast is for you!
