About this Speaker
Pedro Gabriel, MD, is a Catholic layman and physician, born and residing in Portugal. He is a medical oncologist, currently employed in a Portuguese public hospital. A published writer of Catholic novels with a Tolkienite flavor, he is also a parish reader and a former catechist. He seeks to better understand the relationship of God and Man by putting the lens on the frailty of the human condition, be it physical and spiritual. He also wishes to provide a fresh perspective of current Church and World affairs from the point of view of a small western European country, highly secularized but also highly Catholic by tradition.

St. Junípero Serra -- Imperfect Saints and Dialogue with Modern man
Modern man tends to view ancient saints with suspicion, especially when these saints had imperfections proper to their time and age.

But is it impossible to bridge this gap between ancient saints and modern man? In this video, I explore how the imperfections of the saints can actually make modern man see them in a new light, and help people today grow in holiness
