The Gloria Purvis Podcast

Vaccine conspiracy theories and anti-semitism in Catholic communities


Listen Later

The debate over masking and vaccine mandates has led some critics to make an egregious comparison to Nazism. But make no mistake, writes Jenn Morson in a recent article in America, "there is no comparison between being asked to wear a mask in stores and schools and being forced to wear a yellow Star of David in Nazi Germany."

Morson, a practicing Catholic who is ethnically Jewish, explains why appropriating the Holocaust to make a political point is both unacceptable and ineffective. It's used out of ignorance or as a tactic to end dialogue rather than engage constructively. Morson speaks with Gloria about a growing sub-culture of conspiracy theories and anti-semitism in Catholic communities.
