A Catholic bishop, with a social media following second only to the Pope, is proving that dumbing down the faith is the wrong way to reach young adults. But is his celebrity status getting in the way? A new study finds the most generous people are also the most likely to consistently read the Bible. Kaitlyn talks to Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez about telling the truth to the church out of love. Her new book, “Being a Sanctuary,” is honest about the harms many churches are causing, but also shows how the church is the key to healing. Also this week—rat race cars in Froot Loop land.

The book by Mrs. Dominguez reminds me of another book called “The Church as a Culture of Care”.
I'd swear y'all talked about the rat thing four years ago
In addition to Stuart Little, mouse driving a car, I think you guys may be remembering mouse on a motorcycle, Runaway Ralph, in the books by Beverly Cleary...
Skye, they already did study that generosity does make one happier. https://www.library.hbs.edu/working-knowledge/why-giving-to-others-makes-us-happy Also, Skye you were mad about the rat car driving study that is part of the Happiness reasearchers. Yes, it seems common sense, but it goes against our culture's myth of happiness that happiness comes from achievement. If was common sense this myth that has been debunked would not hold so many captive. If you get a chance read Shawn Achor's work on happiness.
