This week, Amy speaks with the Sisters Of Loretto, an American Catholic religious community founded in Kentucky in 1812. The participants discussed the meaning of the common good, the role of government in ensuring safety and housing, and the importance of environmental justice. They also reflect on the current administration's policies, the broader understanding of pro-life, and the need for community engagement and acts of hope in the face of societal challenges.
