This week on “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac speak with Timothy Shriver, chairman of Special Olympics and founder of the nonprofit UNITE, which incubated the Dignity Index, a language evaluation tool that aims to bring greater dignity to our public discourse.
Zac, Ashley and Tim discuss:
- The connection between contemptuous speech and political violence
- How overcoming us-them thinking can help our spiritual lives
- If and how Pope Leo can help American politics
In Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley discuss Pope Leo’s new pick to serve as the Vatican ambassador to the United States; the latest Catholic news from the Middle East war; and the publication of the Synod on Synodality’s final report on women leadership.
