Description

Giuli, Adrianna and Sofi dive into the topic of tradition. Why are we misguided when we instinctively reject authority as a limitation? Can tradition instead be something living that enhances our reason and freedom? How is tradition handed on from one person to the next, and how can we be authentic authorities of our tradition? //

Our media recommendation is the novel Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and its most recent film adaptation (which is currently available on Netflix). And our monthly challenge is to both recall someone who has been an authentic authority of the tradition for you, and to consider that you are called to propose this tradition to the freedom of another. //
