Does the Vatican Need a Mascot? (Dr. Darrick Taylor) 11/25/24
About this episode
We welcome back Dr. Darrick Taylor of Controversies in Church History to discuss his latest article in Crisis Magazine on the Vatican's mascot for the upcoming jubilee year. Why must the Church emphasize the sense of the sacred within art, and how can one reach out to spread the Gospel to new audiences without pandering?
