Amb. Eduard Hapsburg, archduke of Austria and ambassador of Hungary to the Holy See, joins the Kolbecast to discuss his brand-new book, Building a Wholesome Family in a Broken World. Amb. Habsburg expresses the difference between American and European attitudes towards homeschooling, faith, and family life; gives a glimpse into his life as a Catholic, homeschooling father and ambassador; lays out the historical view of homeschooling; breaks down the principle of subsidiarity in American vs. European politics; and shares his guide to building a happy, fulfilling marriage and family life, including practical tips for young adults to implement now. Listen in for thought-provoking– and at times, countercultural– insights into today’s family life.
