In this episode, I sit down with Father Anthony Andreassi, who is a Priest of the Brooklyn Oratory of St. Philip Neri and a history teacher at Regis High School in New York. Anthony chose Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory (1940), a gripping story about a "Whisky Priest" on the run from anti-clerical forces in 1920s Mexico. We talked about the book's influence on Anthony, its depictions of faith, and the similarities between the priest and his pursuer, an atheist Lieutenant of the police.

Anthony also wrote the book Teach Me to be Generous: The First Century of Regis High School in New York City.
