Returning for its third season comes “Hark!”—a podcast from America Media about the stories behind our favorite Christmas carols.

On this week’s “Preach,” Agbonkhianmeghe Orobator, S.J, shares with host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., how thinking of the Gospels as stories can subvert hierarchical, monarchical, and even patriarchal readings of the Scriptures.

This week on Jesuitical, Zac and Ashley welcome Lee C. Camp, host of the “No Small Endeavor” podcast, about growing up with anti-Catholic biases—and how studying at Notre Dame changed his perspective.

In this episode of “Inside the Vatican,” host Colleen Dulle and veteran Vatican correspondent Gerard O’Connell analyze Pope Francis’ headline-making decision to oust Bishop Joseph Strickland as the head of the Diocese of Tyler, Tex.

This week on Jesuitical, Zac and Ashley are joined by Elizabeth Boyle, an international relations officer in the Community of Sant’Egidio, a lay social movement focused on three P’s: “prayer, peace and the poor.”

“Francis’ immediate goal is a stop to the killing,” explains Gerry, which motivates the pope’s advocacy for a ceasefire, entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and the release of all hostages being held by Hamas.
