Eden Revisited
#044: Edenic Politics w/ Sean Domencic
Politics, theology, Eden? Yeah, baby. Joining us to discuss how these three things are in fact connected is Sean Domencic, a Catholic Worker from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Sean is the host of the Tradistae podcast and has written and spoken extensively about Catholic social teaching, economics, and politics. On this episode he outlines five key ways the political theology of Eden impacts our modern lives. This isn't about red or blue but rather living the shared reality of our identity as made in the image and likeness of God.
Show Highlights
- What are the consequences of believing the world was created by accident?
- How does our Founding Fathers’ understanding of “original man” compare to the Genesis account?
- Why our current economic order breeds a mentality of scarcity, not abundance.
- What does Eden have to tell us about communion and friendship?
- Where do human rights come from?
- Why does modern politics feel so threatened by the existence of the family?
- And why “original nakedness” in Eden is so…cool!
