In this episode, we dive into the influential role of Paul Weyrich, founder of the Heritage Foundation, and his impact on conservative Catholic involvement in American politics. Dr. Chelsea Ebin, author of The Radical Mind, helps unpack Weyrich's reaction to Vatican II, his strategic efforts to unite conservative Catholics and Protestants, and his vision of integrating Catholic morality into the U.S. government. We also explore how Weyrich’s legacy lives on through figures like Leonard Leo and the current political landscape. The conversation delves into the paradox of promoting 'tradition' through revolutionary means and what that means for modern American politics.
