Description

In this wonderful and heart-warming interview, our own Dr. Julio A. Quintero guides us through a very special practice celebrated by his father and which his father has passed down to him: bestowing the Sign of the Cross in blessing on one's child. Dr. Quintero uses this as a key example of a sort of faith that is beyond rational categorization, beyond meticulous scientific proofs. He discusses the Enlightenment, its effects upon faith, and the different ways in which different cultures outside the United States understand the very word "culture."
