This Matters with Bill Britt

Power unchecked decides what truth is

When power abandons limits, it begins defining truth itself, shifting society from accountability toward authority and leaving fewer checks to restrain it.

Power was never meant to stand alone. So what happens when it stops answering to anything beyond itself and begins defining truth on its own terms?

In this week’s “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines a growing clash between Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV, and what it signals about the dangerous shift from accountability to unchecked authority. Because once power no longer accepts limits, the question is no longer what’s right, it’s who decides.
