The Catholic women bringing veiling back to Mass

On this week’s episode of “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac are joined
by Madeleine Kearns, an associate editor at The Free Press, and the
author of a recently reported article, “The Young Catholic Women
Bringing Back Veils.” Maddy shares how the veil boom evokes a “lost
type of Catholicism” that satisfies the desire for reverence
challenged by the reforms of Vatican II.  They discuss: 
- The motivations of young women who veil—from personal expressions
of piety and nostalgia to political posturing - Whether individual
practices of worship impact communal worship in the church  -
How young people engage with the “sacred space” of Mass today In
Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley discuss a Brooklyn priest
wrapped up in scandals involving a federal corruption
investigation, New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams and pop star
Sabrina Carpenter. Plus: Environmentalists in Italy try (and fail)
to stop Pope Francis from cutting down a Christmas tree to decorate
St. Peter’s Square. Links for further reading:  The Young
