In the fourth episode of “A Matter of Faith,” a special series from The Scaffidiology Podcast, host Steve Scaffidi sits down with Father Tim Kitzke, a Catholic priest who has served southeastern Wisconsin for more than 37 years.
Father Kitzke shares his perspective on the relationship between faith and politics, explaining why he believes political division can become a barrier to both faith and community. He discusses how he approaches preaching, encourages meaningful dialogue, and challenges people to live out their beliefs beyond the walls of the church.
Together, Scaffidi and Father Kitzke explore fundamental questions facing faith communities today: How much should politics influence faith? And is there a disconnect between what people hear in worship and how they practice those values in everyday life?
