Dive into an in-depth discussion with Connor as he recounts his journey from SSPX traditional Catholicism to Objectivism. We explore his experiences growing up in a conservative-Catholic community in St. Marys, Kansas, touching on homeschooling challenges, the nature of cults, and the struggle to reconcile faith with reason. Referencing the Atlantic article “The Christian Withdrawal Experiment,” we examine the rise of religious communities retreating from mainstream society and the broader implications for American culture. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on faith, freedom, and finding truth. #Catholicism #SSPX #Objectivism #Homeschooling #Cults #faithandreason
