Christendom College President George A. Harne, Ph.D., has released the latest episode of the Christendom Conversations podcast, featuring a discussion with acclaimed speaker, teacher, and writer Mary Stanford. Together, they explore Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and its continued relevance in the twenty-first century, along with the growing impact of technology on families, communities, and society as a whole.
Stanford, an adjunct professor at Christendom, holds a master’s degree in theological studies from the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family. Beyond teaching, she is a sought-after speaker and writer on Catholic marriage and family life. Her latest book, The Obedience Paradox, contributes to the ongoing debate over marriage in the modern world, building on her numerous articles, talks, and courses on Theology of the Body. Since its release, the book has garnered widespread acclaim, with scholars and religious leaders praising it as “a new path forward” in discussions on marriage and the traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity.
This is the second episode of Christendom Conversations, following the premiere episode in February. In that episode, Harne welcomed acclaimed Catholic author, speaker, and professor Dr. Daniel McInerny to the podcast to discuss the role of art and beauty in daily life, how to find authentic beauty in popular culture, and other compelling topics.
Christendom Conversations, the latest addition to the growing Christendom College podcast network, offers listeners and viewers the opportunity to engage with the wisdom of the Catholic intellectual tradition. Through thought-provoking discussions and in-depth interviews with Catholic intellectual leaders, the podcast explores profound ideas and addresses timeless questions, with new episodes releasing monthly.
