008: Guy Delcambre on Poetry and the Middle Way

In this episode of Working Theology, hosts Brandon Giella and Parker Smith explore the intersection of poetry and ideology with guest Guy Delcambre. They discuss the concept of the "via media" and the importance of moderation and anti-fanaticism in political debate, as well as the role of poetry in precise and provocative communication. The conversation also touches on the challenge of engaging in civil disagreement and the need to navigate the tension between affiliation and citizenship in the Church.
