On this episode of Respect Life Radio, Deacon Geoff sits down with Dr. Paul Kengor—a husband, father, professor, and bestselling author—to discuss his newest book, American Pontiff: Pope Leo XIV and His Plan to Heal the Church. Drawing from his deep expertise in both Catholic history and American politics, Dr. Kengor offers a compelling look at the life and leadership of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff. Their conversation explores the unique relationship between the papacy and political leadership, particularly the dynamic between pope and president, and what it means for both the Church and the world. Deacon Geoff and Dr. Kengor reflect on the historic election of Pope Leo XIV and the significance of his American background in shaping his approach to unity, peace, and reform. They also discuss the challenges facing this new papacy—from internal divisions within the Church to global cultural and political tensions—and the hope that Pope Leo XIV's leadership can bring healing in a divided world. Rooted in both history and faith, this episode offers insight into the future of the Church through the lens of its first American pope.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThis is a video and audio podcast.   here's the video:  The headline said “The First American Pope,” and within hours the storyline hardened into something neat, political, and overly confident. I didn't buy it, so I went to the source that most commentators skipped: Paul Kengor's new biography, American Pontiff. What I found is a much sharper, more interesting profile of Pope Leo XIV (Robert Francis Prevost) than the media's early labels could handle.I break down three claims that spread fast and aged poorly. First, the “Francis 2.0” frame: Kengor's research points to an Augustinian mind shaped by St. Augustine's tough realism about grace, sin, and truth, not a personality-driven sequel. Second, the Peru narrative: years among the poor do not automatically equal liberation theology. We talk about what liberation theology actually is, why Rome scrutinized it, and why Prevost's record in Peru looks more like holding the line on sacramental life and formation than riding a political wave.Then I tackle the biggest hot take of all: that 133 cardinals from 70 countries picked a pope to send a message to Donald Trump. That theory collapses once you remember the Catholic Church is a global institution that thinks in decades and centuries. A fast fourth-ballot consensus, Prevost's leadership in the Augustinian order, and his Vatican role overseeing bishop appointments worldwide tell a more grounded story than “conclave as cable-news chess.”If you care about Pope Leo XIV, the Vatican, Catholic Church leadership, and how media narratives get built, listen now, share this with a friend who only saw the headlines, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Key Points from the Episode:• why “Francis 2.0” misses Pope Leo XIV's Augustinian framework  • how Augustine's realism on grace, sin, and truth shapes leadership  • what liberation theology is and why Peru does not equal leftist politics  • how Kengor documents Prevost pushing back on Marxist preaching  • why the “anti Trump conclave” take is American-centric  • what a fast fourth-ballot consensus suggests about the cardinals' priorities  • why Prevost's Vatican résumé matters more than cable-news narratives  • a quick clarification on why I still don't expect a Benedict-style papacy  Now, real quick, if this is the kind of books plus news breakdown that's useful to you, hit that subscribe button.  Be sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resources.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We’re joined by Paul Kengor from The American Spectator to talk about his new book The American Pontiff and the historic election of Pope Leo XIV following the death of Pope Francis. Kengor discusses the shock inside and outside the Catholic world when an American cardinal emerged from the conclave after just four ballots, defying long-standing expectations that the papacy would never go to an American. He explains how the new pope’s decades of international service in Latin America and Rome helped convince cardinals he could lead the global church while still reflecting American roots. Kengor also contrasts the new pontiff’s measured and unifying leadership style with the turbulence of the previous era, arguing that many cardinals were seeking stability, humility, and a renewed focus on unity within the church after years of internal tension and debate.

Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about President Trump’s approach to Iran and the broader political moment unfolding in the United States. He describes what he sees as a rare period in American politics where a second-term president—separated from his first term by another administration—is operating with fewer political restraints and a greater willingness to act decisively on the world stage. Brett argues that while some political factions remain focused on media controversies and internet personalities, the administration is concentrating on larger geopolitical stakes, particularly the confrontation with Iran.

Ronald Reagan first visited the Berlin Wall in 1978, during the Carter administration. While there, he reportedly told his aides: “We've got to find a way to bring this down,” says Mark Joseph, producer of the 2024 film “Reagan.”“Reagan” is a biographical movie starring Dennis Quaid as Ronald Reagan and Jon Voight as KGB agent Viktor Petrovich.In this episode, Joseph shares why it took nearly 20 years to bring this film to the big screen, and what it was like to film during the height of COVID-era restrictions.Joseph, who's also the founder of MJM Entertainment, is the author of “Making Reagan: A Memoir From the Producer of the Reagan Film.”The movie is based on Paul Kengor's book “The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.”That book, Joseph said, helped him understand Reagan and his passionate drive to end what he called the “evil empire,” the Soviet Union.“There have been hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of books written on Ronald Reagan, but Kengor was the only one who went to the church Reagan grew up in and said: ‘Can I see the sermons that young Ronald Reagan would have heard as a child?' And the current pastor said they're in the basement, in the box. Nobody has ever asked to see them before.' So when he opened the box, he found a lot of anti-communist sermons by the preacher,” Joseph said.The film received sharply divided reviews: On “Rotten Tomatoes,” 98 percent of the audience gives a positive rating, but only 18 percent of critics' reviews are positive.That may be a new record.“We have the greatest gap between critics and film goers of any movie ever made in Hollywood history. ... I'm really proud of that. I don't make movies for critics. I make movies for the film goers,” Joseph said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In his new book, The Stigmatists: Their Gifts, Their Revelations, Their Warnings, Paul Kengor gives a historical overview of the phenomenon of the stigmata, focusing especially on one thing many stigmatists have in common: they receive visions, often prophetic ones.

Anne Catherine Emmerich, St. Pius of Pietrelcina, St. Faustina, Bl. Elena Aiello, and St. Gemma Galgani. Kengor joins the podcast to discuss the skepticism and attacks many stigmatists (such as Padre Pio) faced from within the Church, the prophecies of Bl. Elena Aiello about Mussolini's fate, whether St. Francis was the first stigmatist in history, and what we ordinary Catholics can learn from the visions and experiences of the stigmatists.  Links Paul Kengor, The Stigmatists: Their Gifts, Their Revelations, Their Warnings https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-stigmatists-their-gifts-their-revelations-their-warnings/ DONATE to make this show possible! http://catholicculture.org/donate/audio SIGN UP for Catholic Culture's newsletter: https://www.catholicculture.org/newsletters

Get ready to explore the powerful relationship between Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan, as we draw inspiration from Paul Kengor's enlightening book, "A Pope and a President." In this episode of the Theory to Action podcast, I recount my transformative journey at Ohio Northern University, where my passion for U.S. foreign policy and the collapse of communism was nurtured. With the remarkable guidance of my senior advisor, Dr. Andrew Ludyani, I sharpened my writing skills and dove deeper into understanding the dynamic interplay between faith, freedom, and global politics.Key Points from the Episode:Discover how the philosophical kinship between Reagan and John Paul II went beyond their staunch anti-communist stance. Their belief in God's will and a merciful providence fostered a unique strategic vision that championed human dignity, individual freedom, and the principle of subsidiarity. We discuss Reagan's intellectual engagement with conservative thought, his deep emotional response to John Paul II's 1979 visit to Poland, and how these experiences shaped his approach to communism. Through selected quotes from Kengor's book, we highlight the profound impact these two leaders had on history, driven by their faith and mutual abhorrence of nuclear weapons. Tune in to hear how their underestimated leadership altered the global struggle for freedom.Other resources: More goodnessGet your FREE Academy Review here!Get our top book recommendations listGet new podcast episodes dropped into your email box easilyWant to leave a review?

When the founding generation of the United States were developing the Bill of Rights, freedoms of religion and speech and press and assembly were written into the Constitution. One guarantee which did was discussed by James Madison -- but which did not make it into these amendments -- was freedom of conscience. The guest on today's "Faith Under Fire" feature tells us that the founders presumed that personal beliefs and conscience were covered by the freedom of religion. Dr. Paul Kengor tells Family Life that -- amid a "cancel culture" -- there are dangers when certain speech and thoughts are considered off-limits. Kengor is the director of the Institute for Faith and Freedom at Grove City College in Pennsylvania gives us the history of free speech and free thought, then discusses the implications of a society which divides itself into ideological factions. Kengor says individuals and religious groups must be allowed to stand up for their core values, even to those who oppose those positions. He challenges anyone who promotes "diversity and inclusion" to be inclusive in return to other people who have divergent views from theirs. Paul Kengor is a professor of Political Science at GCC and is the editor of the American Spectator, a magazine and online journal of political and social thought.  "Faith Under Fire" airs Thursdays on the Family Life Noon Report, exploring where Christ, Christians and Culture intersect, overlap, and hopefully seek truth.

Dr. Paul Kengor returns to Family Life to offer insights on public discourse, especially with a faith and values perspective. On this edition of our "Faith Under Fire" Feature, Kengor says Christians need to be boldly involved in the culture around them. Those who sit by silently, afraid to speak up, are worried about human judgment and getting a bad reputation on social media. He contrasts those who decide to "stay under the radar" to avoid controversy with martyrs throughout church history to did not water down truth, just to stay popular or avoid showdowns. At the same time, he points to Scriptural guidance -- and common sense practicality -- that anyone with a vantage point need to offer charitable respect to others whose positions have taken them in a different direction.   Paul Kengor is on the faculty at Grove City College in western Pennsylvania, directs the Institute for Faith and Freedom there, and is senior editor of The American Spectator.    

"It's come from the universities." That is the evaluation of how Cancel Culture gets spread and becomes the de-facto reality for many in today's American culture from Professor Paul Kengor of the Institute for Faith and Freedom. As college professors and curricula at most schools promote political and social stances in one direction, people are silenced if their conscience and core values have them arriving at differing viewpoints. In this conversation with Family Life's Greg Gillispie, Kengor also offers what he says is heartfelt advice to parents and families of today's high school and college students. In addition to being the Senior Director and Chief Academic Fellow of the Institute on the Grove City College campus in Pennsylvania, Dr. Kengor is also the senior editor of The American Spectator and a frequent commentator on social, cultural and faith issues.

What You Need to Know is the chaos in the House isn't bad! This is the messy representative system of our republic at work. Only one side is offering the singular option of “my way or the highway,” and it's not the 20 members who are dissenting from the establishment narrative. People are sick of the swamp, and no matter how much the establishment class wants us to believe this is unhealthy dysfunction, it's not! This is our representative republic at work.  Dr. Paul Kengor, author and professor of political science at Grove City College, shares his recent article — Reversing the Dictatorship of Relativism: Remembering Benedict XVI.

What You Need to Know about the Power of Lawfare. The use of the legal system against We the People is getting more and more sophisticated. This was clearly seen when the legal system was used by Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump, not just against his campaign but against his administration. We see this also with the men who are in jail because of being in Washington, D.C. on January 6th, 2020. The law is being used against We the People. It's time to limit the size and scope of government. Dr. Paul Kengor, author, and professor of political science at Grove City College, talks about the relevance of his book — Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century. Dr. Kengor shares how Communists accuse all of their opponents of being Nazis or fascists a great example of this is Bella Dodd after she left the communist party.

What You Need to Know is what's really going on in Ukraine? We really don't know anything about the Ukraine/Russia situation right now. There are so many stories out there and nothing is verifiable. But one thing we do know for sure is that this war is effecting the whole world and we ought to be worried about a nuclear power at war! Rachel Bovard, Policy Director at Conservative Partnership Institute, senior tech columnist atthe Federalist, shares her recent article — Donald Trump Has To Build And Protect Truth Social With Both Hands Tied Behind His Back. Rachel explains that big tech is very subjective in their decisions to kick apps off of their app stores.

This event is part of the Intermarium Lecture Series sponsored by The Institute of World Politics. About the lecture: “Thus Heaven I've forfeited, I know it full well. My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell.” So wrote Karl Marx in an 1837 poem. Those lines were, for Marx, at least partly biographical. Likewise disturbing were his openings lines in his Communist Manifesto: “A specter is haunting Europe, the specter of communism. All of the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this specter.” Karl Marx unleashed more than a mere economic program. The man was less an economist than a revolutionary. Marx had a favorite line from Mephistopheles, the devil character in Goethe's Faust: “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” What Marx wanted was not a mere economic revolution; he wanted a revolution against human nature, to annihilate the entire order, to burn down the house, to undermine “all religion, all morality.” He called for the “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.” What Marx advocated had a destructive dimension, a spiritual dimension, even a diabolical dimension. In his latest book, The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism's Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration, Dr. Paul Kengor explores this chilling side of Marx and the Marxist revolution that still rages today. Join us to hear Professor Kengor on this fascinating and disturbing subject. About the speaker: Paul Kengor, Ph.D., is a professor of political science at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania, and a New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen books. He is senior director and chief academic fellow at the Institute for Faith & Freedom and former visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. His articles have appeared in publications from the Washington Post and USA Today to the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. He is a longtime columnist and senior editor for The American Spectator. Kengor is an internationally recognized authority on (among other topics) Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, communism, socialism, and conservatism.

About the book: Even as historians credit Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II with hastening the end of the Cold War, they have failed to recognize the depth or significance of the bond that developed between the two leaders. Acclaimed scholar and bestselling author Paul Kengor changes that. In this fascinating book, he reveals a singular bond—which included a spiritual connection between the Catholic pope and the Protestant president—that drove the two men to confront what they knew to be the great evil of the twentieth century: Soviet communism. A Pope and a President is the product of years of research. Based on Kengor's tireless archival digging and his unique access to Reagan insiders, the book reveals the inside story of the friendship between Reagan and Pope John Paul II.

Dr. Paul Kengor gave a lecture on his book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism" on July 31, 2018, at The Institute of World Politics. About the Lecture: Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. What's not to like? Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Josef Stalin. And 69 percent of Millennials would vote for a socialist for president. They ought to know better. Communism is the most dangerous idea in world history, producing dire poverty, repression, and carnage wherever it has been tried. And no wonder—because communism flatly denies morality, human nature, and basic facts. But it's always going to be different this time. In this lecture, renowned scholar and bestselling author Paul Kengor will highlight points from his recent book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism, exposing the blood-drenched history—and dangerously pervasive influence—of the world's worst ideology. About the Speaker: Dr. Paul Kengor is professor of political science at Grove City College, a four-year, private Christian liberal arts college located in Grove City, Pennsylvania. He is executive director of the Center for Vision & Values, a Grove City College think-tank and policy center. He is also a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University. He has been quoted or published in most major publications from across the ideological spectrum: New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News, Washington Post, New York Post, National Review, Chronicle of Higher Education, San Francisco Chronicle, American Spectator, New York Newsday, Political Science Quarterly, Presidential Studies Quarterly, Washington Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Boston Herald, Roll Call, Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Philadelphia Inquirer, Christianity Today, World magazine, National Catholic Reporter, National Catholic Register, Our Sunday Visitor, the Jewish Press, Jewish World Review, International Herald Tribune, Manchester Union Leader, and others. Kengor has authored several bestsellers. More recently, his 2012 profile of Frank Marshall Davis, mentor to Barack Obama, titled, The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis, the Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mentor (Simon & Schuster, Threshold/Mercury Ink), debuted at #9 on the New York Times bestseller list and hit #1 in non-fiction at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com. Based on declassified FBI files and Soviet and Communist Party USA archives, the book garnered a significant amount of public attention. In 2010, Kengor published Dupes: How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century (ISI Books). Based on extensive Soviet archival research, particularly the Soviet Comintern Archives on Communist Party USA, the book examines the exploitation of American liberals by communists beginning in the early 20th century. Kengor's best-known work is God and Ronald Reagan(HarperCollins, 2004), which made bestseller lists for The New York Times (extended list), Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Christian Retailing, among others; the book reached #2 on Amazon's non-fiction list. He is author of God and George W. Bush (HarperCollins, 2004), which reached #5 on Amazon's non-fiction list and made The New York Times' extended bestseller list.
