Authority and the Marvel Cinematic Universe

I was a speaker at Doxacon 2017, a Christian sci-fi and fantasy convention in Washington, DC.

My talk was about power & authority, Cap & Iron Man, and the whole moral architecture of the MCU. Find out why Tony Stark makes all the wrong sacrifices, what Captain America teaches us about conscience—and, finally, how Spider-Man: Homecoming is a cinematic exploration of Catholic social teaching's concept of subsidiarity.

Listen to the talk at Ancient Faith radio.
