S6 Ep 111Catholic Social Teaching, Democracy, and the Trump Era: Cathleen Kaveny on Human Dignity and the Common Good
On this episode of the Jim Wallis Podcast, Cathleen Kaveny joins Jim Wallis to explore how Catholic Social Teaching speaks to democracy under pressure. They discuss the Trump administration’s treatment of immigrants; the rule of law, voting rights, institutional trust; and why the Church must resist cruelty, manipulation, and political tribalism. Kaveny argues that democracy depends on treating people as “co-rulers and co-subjects,” and that Catholics must hold together human dignity, solidarity, subsidiarity, and the common good in both public policy and church witness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
S6 Ep 111Quiet Christianity Is Waking Up: Diana Butler Bass on Democracy, Courage, and the Common Good
On this episode of the Jim Wallis Podcast, Jim Wallis talks with Diana Butler Bass about what she calls “quiet Christianity” waking up in response to authoritarianism, Christian nationalism, and the Trump administration’s policies. They explore how mainline Protestant churches, especially in places like Minnesota, are moving from inward debate to public courage through accompaniment, immigration advocacy, and solidarity with vulnerable neighbors. Bass argues that democracy is sustained not only by elections and institutions but by local acts of love, truth-telling, and moral witness rooted in the Gospel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
