American politics have infiltrated the Catholic Church and are wreaking havoc. When Catholics adopt the prevailing secular categories of "right" and "left" they marginalize a central tenet of the faith: that truth is a person, not a thing. Fr. Matt Malone, SJ, President and Editor-in-Chief of America Media, joins Gloria for a frank conversation on the constructive and destructive power of media in the Catholic Church today, and why the goal of Christian discipleship is not about being right–it's about being holy.
