Crown and Crozier
In Crown and Crozier, we invite leading thinkers to explore how the human experience is shaped by the interplay between Church and State, and what this means for tackling the great challenges of today. Join us as we examine what’s at stake for us as citizens and as a society in the dynamic engagement between civil and religious authority. The common good, basic freedoms, dignity of the person, administration of justice, self-government, the preservation of truth, goodness and beauty - all this and more hangs in the balance.

As the Family Goes, So Goes the Nation ~ Andrea Mrozek
Pope St. John Paul II once said: “As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
What’s the state of marriage and family these days? Is public policy effectively safeguarding these fundamental human institutions? When it comes to things like government action on childcare, is the work of the home even being properly valued?
Our guest for this episode is Andrea Mrozek, Senior Fellow at Cardus Family. Cardus Family is an initiative of the Christian think tank, Cardus, based in Canada and dedicated to strengthening the ways in which society’s institutions can work together for the common good.
Andrea was previously Executive Director at the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada, and is widely recognized as a leading voice in Canada on marriage, child care and women’s issues.
