In this episode, Avraham Burg sits down with Monsieur Etienne Vetö, Auxiliary Bishop of Reims and Professor of Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University. In their wide-ranging and deeply reflective conversations, Vetö reflects on how ancient religious traditions communicate with modern individuals in our fast-paced, technological age. Vetö argues that what truly resonates today is not spectacle or dogma alone, but a deeply personal relationship with God—an idea rooted in both Jewish and Christian traditions. The discussion also explores the fragility of institutional religions and how Vatican II is proof that profound transformation is possible without institutional collapse.
