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.
