This week on Jesuitical, Zac and Ashley share their conversation with Cardinal Wilton Gregory on the role of a church in a polarized society. As the archbishop of Washington, D.C., “the epicenter of division,” Cardinal Gregory has devoted himself to bringing people together across vast political and faith-based differences, lending profound insight (and humor!) to this live conversation, which was hosted by Georgetown University’s Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life and Leadership Roundtable.

They discuss:

  • Cardinal Gregory’s conversion as a boy and life as a priest
  • Watching people come together through the synod, from diocesan meetings to the universal session in Rome
  • The cardinal’s advice for young people who feel disengaged from politics

During Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley are joined by one of Jesuitical’s assistant producers, Delaney Coyne, to break down a recent debacle surrounding an A.I. priest. They cover the laicization of Catholic Answers’ “Father Justin” and discuss the kind of insights this technology can—and can’t—provide.
