Why Candace Owens Is Terrifying the Establishment | Dr Janet Smith

Описание: Dr Janet Smith joins Catholic Unscripted to discuss the growing influence of investigative voices like Candace Owens and the deeper cultural battle over truth in the modern world.

A leading Catholic moral theologian, Dr Smith reflects on why figures willing to challenge powerful narratives often provoke intense hostility — and why the search for truth is becoming increasingly contested in contemporary culture.

The conversation explores the crisis of moral reasoning in modern society, the importance of properly formed conscience, and the courage required to speak truth in an age dominated by ideological conformity.

Drawing on decades of scholarship and teaching, Dr Smith offers a Catholic perspective on the cultural upheavals of our time and why recovering the foundations of truth is essential for the future.
