Catholic in America
Identity politics and tribal thinking has become America's dominant paradigm. Why has the respect for genuine civic friendship and the common good waned? What are the set of moral and spiritual principles needed to reclaim or reimagine what has been lost? How do we use them to make right judgments about our world and to move forward with clarity and joy? The answer is at the heart of the Catholic faith and its social doctrine: rediscovering our common identity as children of the Father, the One who created us for love. Join Jason Adkins, host of Catholic in America, to engage our own time, culture, and political milieu with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to explore how to live more fully Catholic.

Catholic Social Teaching Could Save the World—Here’s How with Economist Jeffrey Sachs
Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, world-renowned economist and advisor to both the UN and multiple popes, joins Jason Adkins to explore the profound influence of Catholic social teaching on economics, diplomacy, and the pursuit of peace. From working with Pope John Paul II on Centesimus Annus to helping shape Laudato Si’ with Pope Francis, Sachs shares how the Church’s moral vision offers a critical alternative to the modern technocratic paradigm. Their conversation covers climate change, the war in Ukraine, integral ecology, and how faith and reason together can guide public policy toward the common good.
“If St. Francis of Assisi could meet the Sultan during the Crusades, then surely today’s leaders can sit down and talk.” – Jeffrey Sachs
