In this eye-opening episode, Conor's son Peter shares his powerful reflections from a semester abroad in Europe—where once-thriving cathedrals now stand empty and sacred spaces have become tourist attractions. Peter contrasts Europe’s spiritual decline with the vibrant renewal he sees in American Catholicism, exploring how beauty, tradition, and family can reignite devotion in a secular world. Don't miss this thought-provoking and deeply moving journey through faith, culture, and the future of the Church—and how a new generation can reignite the light of belief in a darkening world. 📖 TAN Books by Conor Gallagher: https://bit.ly/4odTOTZ – The Meekness and Humility of Jesus Christ – Well-Ordered Family – Raising Blue-Collar Kids in a White-Collar World – The Architect – You Have Only One Problem – You Are Never Too Busy – Parenting for Eternity – Still Amidst the Storm – Stranger Among Us 👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media!
