Pope Leo is the first missionary Pope since St. Peter, and it is already quite evident how his formation as a missionary in Peru is guiding his papal ministry. Msgr. Roger Landry, the National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States, shares how the Holy Father is walking in the footsteps of his predecessors by first reminding us that we are called to "go out to all the world and share the good news" with a missionary mindset and a willing heart.

Chez Filippini and Dr. Luke Arredondo continue their Catholic Social Teaching series by discussing Pope Pius XI's 1931 encyclical "Quadragesimo Anno", a follow-up to Pope Leo XIII's "Rerum Novarum". They explore the document's key themes, including subsidiarity, labor relations, wages, and critiques of both capitalism and socialism. The encyclical emphasizes the need for a moral approach to economic life, condemns the excesses of individualist capitalism and socialist ideologies, and calls for a return to gospel principles.

Katie sits down with José Manuel de Urquidi of the Juan Diego Network and Inés San Martín of the Pontifical Mission Societies to discuss their personal experiences with Pope Francis and Pope Leo. Together, they explore how to understand Pope Francis's legacy and the unfolding mission of Pope Leo. Reflecting on cultural nuances and the influence of social media, José Manuel and Inés reveal how each pope's distinct personality and leadership style can be appreciated in light of those who came before.

Join Andrew as he reflects on how Catholic Social Teaching (CST), rooted in Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, fundamentally transforms his approach to fundraising.  Andrew shares a bit of the history of CST from Rerum Novarum to the present, and he explores how the CST values of human dignity, justice over charity, and solidarity over transactional relationships affect his work as a development professional.  (And, his personal volunteering priorities!) Andrew concludes by acknowledging that, while applying CST principles can be challenging, their value to fundraisers is clear.  As fundraisers, we invite donors to recognize that their willingness to give funds promotes solidarity and builds God's kingdom here on earth.If you'd like to refer to the article Andrew mentions in the podcast, you can find it on our Petrus blog HERE.  

Shannon Wimp Schmidt joins Katie to explore the significance of the papacy, highlighting key teachings and defining moments from the past twelve popes—from Leo XIII at the turn of the twentieth century to Leo XIV today. Together they trace how the papacy has evolved through the personalities, styles, and themes each pope brought to their encyclicals and homilies, showing how the Lord continues to guide his Church. In the end, they consider a personal question: What role does the pope play in our individual faith journeys today?

When Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected to the papacy on May 8, 2025, he stepped into the metaphorical shoes of the fisherman worn by 266 men before him. Choosing a name that hadn't been held by a pope in over 100 years, he entered an office held by men with varied personalities, lofty goals, numerous agendas and projects. Learning about those popes only helps us understand this current pope, and when we watch what Pope Leo does, says, writes, and where he'll go, we do so in light of all the ones who have done things in the papacy before. This upcoming series of Ave Explores will take a look at the history of the papacy, and the work of the popes, from Pope Leo XIII at the turn of the century up to Pope Leo XIV today.

HHS is finally launching a study on the abortion pill, but will it change anything—or is it just stringing pro-lifers along? John and Jonathan discuss coerced abortions, political polarization, and the dangers of cooked data. Then, they break down why Cardinal Cupich's decision to honor Senator Dick Durbin has Catholics and evangelicals alike shaking their heads

A central tenet of the MAGA movement is the Trump administration's "America First" foreign-policy agenda. To fulfill this agenda, it has slashed foreign aid, launched a trade war with the United States' most reliable trading partners, and threatened to abandon NATO and our most trusted allies.  Informed by Trump's transactional approach to international relations, such actions flout the existing liberal world order, which has worked to promote democracy, human rights, free trade, and the freedom of movement since the end of World War II.  They also betray the very idea of a shared humanity, which is profoundly antithetical to Catholic Social Teaching. On this fourth, and final, episode of "The Counterweight," associate editor Griffin Oleynick speaks with Loyola Chicago's Miguel Diaz, the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See under President Barack Obama, about the Trump administration's foreign policy, Diaz's experiences as a diplomat, and what the “America First” agenda means for the international community—and for the United States.  Diaz also discusses how Catholic Social Teaching can counter this agenda by championing foreign policies that recognize the existing liberal order, support human rights, and act in service of the common good.    For further reading:  Andrew J.

Today, Ben welcomes KJ Smith—financial advisor, theologian, and founder of Ethos Logos Investments—for a conversation about what it means to bring Catholic social teaching into the heart of financial life. KJ shares how his unlikely pairing of finance and theology has become a vocation, shaping his mission to help Catholics invest in ways that honor both prudence and conscience. Their discussion explores the seven principles of Catholic social teaching—from the inviolable dignity of the human person to the call of solidarity and care for creation—and how these truths offer a framework for making money decisions that serve the common good. KJ reflects on the tension between growth and sacrifice, profit and responsibility, and why stewardship is never merely about returns but about loving one's neighbor through economic choices. Together, they highlight how Catholic financial planning calls us to reject exploitation, embrace responsibility, and see investing not as speculation but as participation in God's work of renewal. In the end, the conversation is both practical and deeply theological, inviting listeners to view their financial lives as a lived expression of faith, mission, and love in action.Key Takeaways:• Many Catholic institutions follow U.S. bishops' investment guidelines, but their employee retirement plans often fail to reflect those same values. • Faith-based investing does not necessarily require Catholic-only funds—it requires avoiding violations of Catholic teaching.• Catholic investing is not simply about avoiding sin but about directing capital toward companies that contribute to human flourishing.• Stewardship of creation is a moral responsibility because natural resources are gifts meant to serve present and future generations.• Solidarity requires recognizing that the suffering of one impacts all, calling us to mutual responsibility.• Ultimately, Catholic financial planning integrates prudence, justice, stewardship, and love, transforming money decisions into expressions of faith and service.Key Timestamps:(00:00) - KJ Smith's Background and Education(04:00) - Catholic Social Teaching in Financial Services(08:46) - Human Dignity and Economic Inequality(14:09) - Social Responsibility and Community Participation(16:39) - Rights, Responsibilities, and the Common Good(21:41) - Balancing Rights and Responsibilities(24:07) - Personal Discernment and Sphere of Influence(28:45) - The Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers(33:21) - Solidarity and Care for God's Creation(36:27) - Integrating Faith and FinanceKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://www.elinvestments.net/ Mentions: Story of a Soul by Saint Thérèse of LisieuxMore of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Solidarity is a much-used, not to say over-used, slogan these days, both in Catholic Social Teaching and in popular activism. Does it have a clear meaning or is it just an emotive term? In this lecture, Rowan Williams argues that in the context of Christian theology, as St. Augustine's City of God suggests, it does indeed have a strong and distinctive meaning that challenges a lot of what we (Christians and others) assume about human life in society today, raising questions about the common good, common work, and the risks of looking for common enemies.On Monday, September 8, Morningside and the Earl Hall Center for Religious Life at Columbia welcomed the Rt. Rev. Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, for a lecture on solidarity and the City of God in Columbia University's Pulitzer Hall lecture room.

A little more than eight months into the second Trump presidency, many Americans today find the United States increasingly unrecognizable: a volatile and inflationary economy, rising political violence, and brazen corruption at all levels of government don't appear to be going away anytime soon. So how did we get here? What lessons can we learn from the histories of other countries, especially ones that experienced radical destabilization and an authoritarian turn? To answer these questions, on this episode we're speaking with Hille Haker, a professor of Catholic Moral Theology at Loyola University Chicago.  A native German, Haker points out how the current situation in the United States evinces disturbing parallels with the rise of Nazism in Germany.  She also details the intellectual developments that have given rise to the new right wing anti-democratic comfort with authoritarianism—and how Catholic Social Teaching can counter it.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when the three necessary societies, the foundational pillars for human flourishing, crumble simultaneously? Jack and Veronica Burchard, Chief Operating Officer of Sophia Institute, explores how Pope Leo XIII's groundbreaking encyclical Rerum Novarum offers extraordinary wisdom for our modern cultural crisis.Burchard shares what motivated her to create "A Pocket Guide to Rerum Novarum," making this essential Catholic social teaching more accessible to today's readers. Together, they unpack how Leo XIII's prophetic vision of the three necessary societies—Marriage and the Family, Christ and the Church, and Polity-Civil Society—creates a framework for understanding human dignity and societal flourishing.The discussion reveals surprising relevance for today's young adults struggling under financial burdens that delay family formation and Leo XIII's teaching that "the family predates the state" and that private property rights flow from our responsibility to care for our families, and discover a liberating alternative to both socialist promises and unchecked capitalism. Find "A Pocket Guide to Rerum Novarum" Here! Read Jack's Blog's including his latest: Stepping Up to True Love: The Fall and the Call to Be a Man of GodWatch on YouTube or Follow us on X! Support the show

Preaching for the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time - and the first Sunday in the Season of Creation - Annapatrice Johnson invites us to consider how discipleship—and our relationship with all of God's creation—can reorder our lives and change everything: " Throughout the Gospels, Jesus points us to prioritize relationships: understanding the other helps us see the impacts of our society's brokenness, and then invites us to make choices that heal and transform. All hope is not lost."Anna Johnson is the North America Director for the Laudato Si Movement, collaborating with and mobilizing passionate and talented Catholics across the continent for personal and systemic ecological transformation. Prior to joining LSM, she worked for over a decade in Catholic Social Teaching and global solidarity curriculum design and leadership training, particularly with youth and young adults.

Marc Barnes is one of the coolest, smartest, most impressive guys we know. As one of the founders of both New Polity and the Harmonium Project, a professor at St. Joseph the Worker College, and the owner of a local farm to shelves grocery store, The Grocery Box, he has been putting Catholic Social Teaching into action in the streets of Steubenville for over a decade now. So, we thought we would pick his brain about where Catholics often go wrong in their pursuit of the goals of Catholic social teaching and why simply loving the place where you live and serving it well is one of the best things you can do to bring about a more just society.

Dog Days of Eternity--what does that mean? Welp, most know what the dog days of summer feel like. A little bit of boredom. A little bit of looking back and looking ahead.

Not only are we being dorks by referring to Antichrist via a Brady Bunch meme, but we have made a "tribute" episode...to one of the best unusable shows we recorded! Due to severe audio issues that rendered half of the show hard to hear, we were not able to post a show about the now infamous interview between Tech Billionaire Peter Theil and conservative media commentator Ross Douthat. But God in his good Providence had good things in mind: with a few weeks of even more commentary and happenings in regards to that interview and Peter Theil, and even more so Bud and Bo's fruitful thinkings on tech and theosis due to their retreat last week, we pick up what is salvageable idea-wise from the now lost episode, and create something--even better!And as you can surmise, this has everything to do with different conceptions of the antichrist, and rival conceptions on salvation from said figure.

Since becoming pope, Leo XIV has reminded us that the Catholic Church “offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching.” That tradition is especially salient now, amid the rise of Christian nationalism and of alternative interpretations of Catholicism among some high-profile  politicians in the United States. As we confront the political, social, and spiritual challenges brought on by the second Trump administration, the moment seems right for a clear examination of Catholic social teaching by leading scholarly voices deeply rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, especially its ethics, political philosophy, and theology.  In this special four-episode series, a collaboration between Commonweal and senior members of the theology departments at Fordham University and Loyola University Chicago, we present four conversations, each providing a provocative, informative analysis of key political and social issues rooted in the understanding of Catholic social teaching.  We're calling it ‘The Counterweight: Reclaiming Catholic Social Teaching in a Time of Crisis.'  Our participants are Christina Traina and Bryan Massingale of Fordham University, and Hille Haker and Miguel Diaz of Loyola University Chicago. Each episode will have a featured presenter, followed by a conversation among all the participants.  Today's episode, our first, takes up the purpose of government, an especially urgent topic given the radical departure from the principles and conventions of liberal democracy by the Trump administration. Fordham's Christina Traina is here to explain how that departure is also a departure from Catholic social teaching's more expansive and communal understanding of government—not just as a guarantor of rights, but a steward of the common good.

We may know how to pray with our hearts and minds, but Father Dave welcomes Dr. Ansel Augustine to discuss what it means to put that prayer into action. Dr. Augustine currently serves as the Assistant Director of African American Affairs for the USCCB Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church, and his new book is called, “Praying With Our Feet: Encountering God in the Margins.”

What is the proper role of government according to the Catholic Church?In Part 3 of our Rerum Novarum series, Amanda and Jonathan dig into how Pope Leo XIII explained the moral role of civil authority—not as a tyrant, but as a protector of justice, property, and the common good.From taxes and socialism to overreach and neglect, we explore how Catholic Social Teaching offers timeless guidance on what government should (and shouldn't) do—and how we can respond as faithful citizens.

How should Catholics think about the tension between rich and poor, employer and employee?In Part 2 of our series on Rerum Novarum, we dive into Pope Leo XIII's clear guidance on class conflict, solidarity, and how the Church sees the proper relationship between capital and labor.This isn't just theory, it's a timely reminder of how Catholic Social Teaching can shape how we work, spend, hire, and vote.Whether you're a business owner, employee, or someone trying to reconcile faith and finances in a chaotic world, this episode will challenge and ground you.Show Notes:

In 1891, Pope Leo XIII wrote Rerum Novarum, an encyclical that launched Catholic Social Teaching- and its message is now more relevant than ever. In this episode, Jonathan and Amanda unpack how this powerful document speaks to the dignity of work, the role of money, and the pursuit of justice in today's world.Whether you're managing a household budget or running a business, you'll walk away with fresh insight into the Church's vision for economic life… and how to apply it.

The Catholic Church has a new Pope! Levi Russell joins us today to talk about what this means for the Church going forward, including what the selection of the name 'Leo' might indicate for the Pontiff's intended trajectory. Levi is a former Gwartney Institute member and co-founder of this very podcast, currently teaches at the University of Kansas, and is also the founder and director of the Leonine Institue for Catholic Social Teaching, and so is the best person we know of to guide this discussion. Enjoy!

We live in a disillusioned political age, one where old liberal arguments no longer have hold. Conservatism has moved into a right-wing politics which no longer sees the value of Christianity. Lost in an ostensibly equal mass, individuals have experienced a loss of identity. New developments in technology, and especially AI, present an existential threat to human agency. In our time (2025) and place (America), we need the social doctrine of the Church.

Brian and I chat about Black swans, Randomness, Risk management strategies and all the while... the Catholic Faith and how it dovetails with the thought of one of our favorite economic thinkers.

Mere Fidelity is back! Welcome to Mere Fidelity 2.0: A Mere Orthodoxy Podcast. Hosts Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, Brad East, and James Wood dive into the major news of Pope Francis's passing and Cardinal Robert Prevost's election as Pope Leo XIV. As Protestant theologians, they grapple with what this papal transition means for the broader Christian landscape. They discuss how evangelicals should approach papal authority, explore the potential for greater Christian unity under the new papacy, and examine the ongoing influence of Catholic social teaching. They also reflect on the challenges and opportunities of engaging with Catholic tradition while remaining committed to Protestant principles. — Chapters: 00:00 Mere Fidelity 2.0: A New Era 03:25 Protestant Perspectives on the Papacy 09:21 Toward a Unified Church 12:30 Papal "Authority" 15:25 The Role of the Pope in a Divided Church 18:23 Visions for Unity in the Church 23:53 Pope Not King 25:02 Protestant Perspectives on Tradition 27:55 Calvin in the Middle 32:46 Visible and Invisible 33:48 Encyclical Teaching 41:05 Extra Cautions 46:24 Future Ecumenical Councils 51:20 New Chapter

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Cy Kellett is joined by theologian Tom Nash for a deep dive into Catholic social teaching through the lens of Rerum Novarum, the 1891 encyclical by Pope Leo XIII.
