Italy's nationalist prime minister Giorgia Meloni has no trouble upsetting her liberal counterparts across Europe. But why is Pope Francis one leader she's been trying to keep onside?

On April 19, Mallory McMorrow, Democratic State Senator of Michigan, delivered a speech in the chamber of the Michigan State Capitol. It instantly struck a chord on social media, and has since been viewed by millions of people throughout the world.  Pushing back forcefully against a Republican colleague's accusations of “grooming and sexualizing children” as well as defending her support of LGBTQ people, McMorrow cited her Christian faith—and in particular her Catholic upbringing—as an inspiration for her political outlook and her insistence on taking the side of the marginalized. On this episode, McMorrow speaks with Commonweal editor Dominic Preziosi about what went into writing that speech, what she hopes listeners will take from it, and what role she hopes a renewed, nuanced understanding of faith might yet play in public life.

McGreevy, Cathleen Kaveny, and Matthew Sitman

Sr. Simone Campbell, best known as the executive director of the NETWORK social justice lobby and organizer of the Nuns on the Bus tours, has been involved in political advocacy on behalf of the poor and marginalized for decades.   Less familiar, though, are the contemplative practices that ground Sr. Simone's work—and that she describes in her new book, Hunger for Hope: Prophetic Communities, Contemplation, and the Common Good.   Speaking with Commonweal assistant editor Regina Munch, Sr. Simone talks about how the courage to confront our own brokenness can bring about personal and political healing in this fractured moment.   For further reading: -      Is There a Religious Left? by Kaya Oakes -      American Politics and Social Catholicism by E.J.

We are at a perilous moment in American history, and public Catholicism must rise to the task. So says E. J. Dionne Jr., Washington Post columnist and Commonweal contributor.   He joins Commonweal editor Dominic Preziosi to discuss why American Catholicism needs to put aside culture-war rhetoric and return to its rich tradition of social thought—characterized by what he calls “radical moderation”—and how such ideas could play out in the upcoming election and beyond.   Suggestions for further reading: ·     Radical, Moderate, and Necessary, E.J. Dionne Jr. ·     The Faith of Amy Coney Barrett, Matthew Sitman ·     Canons & the Candidate, Nicholas P. Cafardi

In The Politics of Religion and the Rise of Social Catholicism in Peru (1884-1935): Faith, Workers, and Race Before Liberation Theology (Brill, 2018), Ricardo Cubas Ramacciotti, Associate Professor of Latin American History at the Universidad de los Andes (Chile), provides a lucid synthesis of the Catholic Church’s responses to the secularization of the State and society, whilst offering a fresh appraisal of the emergence of Social Catholicism and its contribution to social thought and development of civil society in post-independence Peru. Making use of diverse historical sources, Cubas Ramacciotti provides a comprehensive view of a reformist yet anti-revolutionary trend within the Peruvian Church that, decades before the emergence of Liberation Theology and under divergent intellectual paradigms, developed an active agenda that addressed the new social problems of the country, including those of urban workers, and of indigenous populations.

In this week’s episode (which we recorded… a long time ago now), Ryan interviews Jon about his take on the problem of the supernatural in light of its Twitter-mediated contemporary relevance. To start out, Jon gives a quick-and-dirty review of the history of the problem of the supernatural, from the problem of merit and the necessity of grace to the Dei auxiliis controversy to the Surnaturel controversy to the present Anglophone controversy over the natural desire for God. Along the way, Jon gives some attention to the implied political questions at work in and behind the controversy. The major contention is that the political questions are assumed to be resolvable at the level of metaphysics. He thinks this is a mistake (“the problem with the problem of the supernatural is that it is, in fact, two problems and they’re irreducible to one another”). At Ryan’s prompting, Jon outlines what he thinks the two problems are: a medieval, metaphysical problem and a modern, hermeneutical one. TITLES REFERENCED: Bernardi, Peter J.

This episode explores the intersections of Trinitarian theology, psychology, epistemology, and embodiment. After we spend a few glorious moments pondering the potential advantages and dangers of providing alcohol to athletes, Ryan gives us a brief introduction to Thomas’ psychological analogy and its importance to systematic theology. This frames our discussion of how meaning is experienced by embodied, self-present, knowing subjects. The givenness of such experience is central to Jon’s 2016 article, “Insight is a Body-Feeling: Experiencing our Understanding,” and we spend the majority of our episode exploring the implications of Jon’s arguments in this essay. Ryan shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye. Exciting reminder: We are now on iTunes!
