Episode Details

Tom Cruise received his first Academy Award this week, an honorary Oscar presented at the sixteenth annual Academy Governors Awards. He told the assembled gathering, “Making films is not what I do, it is who I am.” Equating what we do with who we are, our performance with our identity, is not a worldview unique to Mr. Cruise. We are made with a “God-shaped emptiness,” to paraphrase Blaise Pascal. But if secularized people will not turn to God, they will turn to anything else to fill the void.
