Christianity and The Mainstream Entertainment Industry

Just a few weeks ago, world renowned hip hop artist Kanye West released his latest album entitled Jesus is King, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. West has been creating a lot of buzz as of late due to his recent renewal in his Christian faith.

Despite this however, there’s still an abundance of sexualization, violence, drug use, and foul language in today’s mainstream entertainment industry. Naturally, as young adults, we tend to be part of this youth culture. Therefore, it’s important to discuss what we should and shouldn’t consume, and what brings us closer to or further away from God. The evening will consist of a free dinner, time to socialize, a discussion, and then night prayer.

Friday of next week, November 1, is not only All Saints’ Day, but also First Friday, which means the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from 9:00 a.m. to midnight. But what do we do during our time of Eucharistic Adoration, whether for a few minutes or a full hour? Elizabeth Scalia describes it beautifully.
Bishop Barron recently visited Reddit (the hugely popular network of communities based on people's interests) for another #AMA (“ask me anything”) session. Over 15,000 comments poured in from young skeptics around the world, making it the third most-commented-on #AMA of the year (after Bill Gates and Bernie Sanders). Listen here.
