The movement of lay people behind Pope Francis’ peace missions

How does a 25-year-old woman from Salt Lake City end up
facilitating peace negotiations during a civil war in South Sudan?
This week on “Jesuitical,” Zac and Ashley are joined by Elizabeth
Boyle, an International Relations Officer in the Community of
Sant’Egidio, a lay social movement of the Catholic Church whose
mission focuses on three “P”s: “prayer, peace, and the poor.” Zac
and Ashley talk to Elizabeth about: The journey that brought
Elizabeth to peacebuilding and the work she’s doing with the
Community of Sant’Egidio in Rome What her work in South Sudan
reveals about the challenges and possibilities of peacemaking How
Catholics (and the church) can integrate peace into their
spirituality In Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac discuss Pope
Francis’ recent announcement that he would travel to Dubai to
attend COP28. Then, they get into a most pressing issue facing the
church: Sabrina Carpenter’s “Feather” music video, which caused an
uproar after being filmed in the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin
Mary Church in Brooklyn. Links from the show: Interview: Pope
Francis’ presence at COP28 climate conference in Dubai is ‘without
