On November 29, 2017, Jesuit scholastic Michael Martinez spoke to over 70 students about what it means to be a young adult and practicing Catholic in the 21st century. His talk focused on how, "as Catholics,鈥� practicing the Tradition 鈥渄oes not allow us to forget the Truth that the love of God and love of neighbor are one.鈥� Martinez proposed that the 鈥淩evolutionary part鈥� of the Catholic faith is that the truth must not remain some "philosophical principle" taught long ago, but an invitation to Christian action. The 鈥渢radition鈥� is that this truth becomes a responsibility, by the grace of God, for us to incarnate this truth in our daily lives. Martinez, in both traditional reflection and rousing hip-hop performance, proclaimed what the Christian tradition always does: the beautiful call of 鈥淐hrist's Revolution.鈥�
