How Dr. Paul Farmer put Catholic social teaching into medical practice

On our season finale, Zac and Ashley talk to Dr. Paul Farmer, the
co-founder and chief strategist of Partners in Health (PIH).
Founded in 1987, PIH has pioneered an approach to medicine that
actually resembles Catholic social teaching’s preferential option
for the poor. They talk about the challenges of bringing the
Covid-19 vaccine to the poorest and sickest countries and how to
salvage hope in desperate times.  In Signs of the Times, we
break down exactly what is happening with the U.S. Bishops and the
debates around whether or not President Biden should receive
Communion. What’s on tap: Duckhorn Chardonnay  Links from the
