Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

Have you ever encountered a figure so influential that their legacy resonates long after their passing? Join me as I sit down with Father Jeffrey Kirby, a renowned moral theologian, to discuss the incredible impact of Pope John Paul II. Father Kirby shares a touching story about his niece's surprising unfamiliarity with the former pope, which spurred him to write the article "John Paul Who?" in the Catholic Thing. We traverse the diverse facets of John Paul II's life, from his resilience under totalitarian regimes to his contributions as a poet, philosopher, and even a skier. Discover how his tireless work shaped the Catholic Church's stance against secularism and fortified the sanctity of marriage and family.

Our conversation extends to today's cultural and spiritual crises, emphasizing John Paul II's teachings on human dignity and virtue. We examine his critiques of Soviet communism and raw capitalism, and reflect on recent cultural events that mock sacred traditions.

This episode is a rich exploration of a legacy that continues to inspire and challenge the faithful.
