Show Notes

Today's guest is Olga Segura, freelance writer from the Bronx who’s currently working on a book about race, the Black Lives Matter movement and the Catholic Church. Previously, Olga was an associate editor at America Magazine and the co-host of the podcast Jesuitical. Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked her about two pieces she wrote that came out this summer: first, a piece for America about how the Catholic Church can work for racial justice. Many Catholics want to do something to help address the sin of racism but we don’t always know where to start. Olga has some great tips for us. Second, Olga wrote a profile of the theologian and Fordham University professor Father Bryan Massingale, one of the leading voices on Black Catholicism. Olga talked about what struck her most about Fr. Massingale’s witness through the course of reporting her story. Subscribe to AMDG wherever you listen to podcasts.
