The spread of misinformation seems to intensify with each passing week. Indeed, it is a defining characteristic of our time! And research tells us that misinformation is doing tangible harm — to public health, mental health, public discourse, personal relationships, and public trust. How did we get here, why do people believe, and what can we do about it?

On the eve of the second session of the Synod on Synodality, the most important church event in Catholic life since the end of the Second Vatican Council in 1965, Michael W. Higgins, Vatican analyst, biographer and scholar, will identify the reasons why this Synod matters, why its ecumenical constitution is so innovative, and why we are on the cusp of a radical re-shaping of how we do things as a church.

Higgins, author of the recently published The Jesuit Disruptor—a Personal Portrait of Pope Francis, will be in Rome this October covering the Synod for Paulist Press of New York. This free lecture has been made possible through the generous sponsorship of The Higgins Lecture on Religion and Media.

Text by Franz Kafka; Performance created by Kevin White, Andy Houston, Jay Havens, and Aaron El Sabrout
