transcendentals: that which transcends and why it matters (an interview with John Paul Meenan)

We welcome once again Prof. John Paul Meenan to discuss the transcendentals (Truth, Goodness, Unity and Beauty) and how they manifest themselves in our lives. We discuss discernment in the moral life, how God draws us to deeper conversion and a few helpful resources.
