Ep. 112: Human Ecology plus Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2

When talking about humanity’s relationship with nature, John Paul II used the phrase “human ecology”. Benedict XVI used a similar phrase. So did Francis. What do they all mean by it? Dr. Jennifer Frey, of the Institute for Human Ecology and a philosophy professor at the University of South Carolina, helps unpack this theme in the Church’s recent tradition. Kara hops in to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 (20:25) and its bad dad before the release of volume 3.
