Oro Valley Catholic
Self-Creation, the Gospel and Humility
Tara Isabella Burton's new book, "Self-Made: Creating Our Identities from Da Vinci to the Kardashians" explores the western concept of the self-made person. Hollywood celebrity culture and internet influencers are examined. Burton argues that people still believe in God, but have relocated the divine to within themselves. Christ offers a different perspective that has the advantage of being real and true. We bear his yoke or we are lost. Increasingly, Americans are wandering into chaos, but we don't have to. More on this week's OVC.
