Are we on the path to a more just politics and equitable world? If we are, women are going to lead us there. It's the finale of Just Politics' second season, and we celebrate with our first crossover episode as the hosts of the Beyond the Habit podcast—Sisters of St. Joseph Erin McDonald and Colleen Gibson—join us for a wide-ranging discussion of the place of justice in the evolving role of women in the Catholic Church. We conclude our episode with a conversation with an exciting and emerging voice for justice who embodies women leading in politics: Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas.
