There seems to be a growing sentiment, both within the Church and the wider culture, that if you share a public conversation with someone, or say something nice about one particular aspect of their work, you're necessarily endorsing everything they've ever said or done and can therefore be easily dismissed, a fallacy known as "guilt by association." Bishop Barron discusses this problem, how it undermines evangelization, and why he chooses to engage people from across the religious and cultural spectrum. A listener asks, how do you respond to people who discredit Catholicism based on the sex abuse scandals? NOTE: Do you like this podcast?
