Pope Fiction
Manage episode 443108282 series 2382863
Have you ever wondered what podcasting pundits would have discussed during the Great Schism? Today’s Remnant episode might give you a good idea.Jonah is joined by George Weigel, distinguished senior fellow at the Ethics and Policy Center, to talk all things Vatican City. George and Jonah evaluate Pope Francis, dig into the historical relationship between the Catholic Church and state actors, and discuss just war theory as it relates to ongoing conflict in the Middle East and criticism of Israel. Setting their sights on the United States, they then turn to the wacky world of Catholic integralism and the anxiety reflected by the online ‘trad-cath’ movement. Further lines of inquiry include: How do we remedy contemporary cultural decay? How does one strike a balance between free expression and harmful hedonism? And what on God’s green earth is going to happen with the Catholic voting bloc?
Show Notes:
—George’s biography of Pope John Paul II
—Irving Kristol: “Pornography, Obscenity, and the Case For Censorship”
—The Dispatch crew on Pope Francis
—Peggy Noonan on the choice between awful and empty
—George on the new Great Awakening
