A Catholic reporter’s take on the 2024 election

It’s an election year, and like it or not, the race is heating up,
so “Jesuitical” went to Washington, D.C., to hear from an expert
about the state of play. A long-time friend of the show, N.P.R.’s
Scott Detrow, is the weekend host of “All Things Considered” and a
co-host of the podcasts “Consider This” and “Trump’s Trials,”
N.P.R.’s weekly recap of the former president’s multiple court
cases. He joins Zac and Ashley for a refreshing conversation about
politics and faith as we gear up for November’s election. They
discuss:  Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who both recently
clinched their respective parties’ nominations The ethics of
covering politics in today’s polarized climate The role of religion
in U.S. politics In Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley cover the
diplomatic dust-up caused by the pope’s recent comments about the
war in Ukraine before moving into a conversation about Francis’
11th anniversary of his election, which was on March 13. The hosts
talk about continued criticism of Pope Francis, as well as their
own opinions about Francis’ papacy. Jesuitical is going on the road
in 2024! We hope you’ll join us. And if you’d like Zac and Ashley
