Podcast: A Muslim theologian on teaching at a Jesuit university

This week on “Jesuitical,” Zac and Ashley are joined by Amir Hussain, a theology professor at Loyola Marymount University. Amir shares his insights about navigating life as a Muslim teaching theology at a Catholic university, prompting a conversation ranging from the imperative and blessings of interfaith dialogue to life without a cell phone.

They also cover:

• Amir’s experience completing the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
• The history and diversity of Muslims in the United States
• Finding common ground and sharing experiences with people of different faiths

In Signs of the Times, Jesuitical’s producer, Sebastian Gomes, and “Inside the Vatican” host Colleen Dulle join Ashley to break down “Dignitas Infinita,” the recent declaration from the Vatican covering issues surrounding human dignity like gender theory, human trafficking, surrogacy and more.
