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.

Is It Time to Flee to the Fields? Why Catholics Are Returning to the Land with Michael Thomas
Is returning to the land just a romantic pipe dream, or a prophetic response to our disordered world?
In this episode of Catholic in America, host Jason Adkins sits down with Michael Thomas, Executive Director of the Catholic Land Movement, to explore the growing desire among Catholics to reconnect with creation, live in community, and build lives rooted in place, prayer, and productive property.
Drawing from Scripture, Church teaching, and his own journey from suburban life to homesteading in rural New York, Michael shares how the Catholic Land Movement is helping families rediscover the joy and sanctity of working the land, whether that means raising sheep, growing food, or simply planting a window garden with purpose.
