Fr. McTeigue exposes the danger of treating “the poor” as an abstraction — or worse, as objects of pity and curiosity. Learn why true compassion means suffering with, not looking down on, and why real Christian charity must include the soul, not just the body.

Watch on YouTube: What About the Poor?

We welcome back acclaimed writer Joseph Pearce to show how great literature can help every Catholic man striving for virtue and holiness, and where to start.
