This week on “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac talk to Brendan Curran, O.P., a Dominican priest who leads interfaith partnerships at the Resurrection Project and serves on the International Dominican Commission for Justice and Peace.
Ashley, Zac and Father Brendan discuss:
- How Catholic Chicagoans are resisting the federal immigration crackdown
- Who exactly is being targeted in Trump’s mass deportation campaign
- What he is hearing from voters—especially Trump voters—about the unrest
In Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac discuss the U.S. Army’s cancellation of religious support contracts and the response from Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the U.S.C.C.B. They also look at a 1,200-year-old loaf of bread with an image of Christ that was recently unearthed in Turkey and a new proprietary brand of altar wine ordered in Kenya after other brands became popular in local bars and liquor stores.
In “As One Friend Speaks to Another,” Ashley and Zac speak to Ed Desciak, an O’Hare Fellow at America, about his recent pilgrimage to an ICE detention center in New Jersey.
