Pádraig Ó Tuama: How language can be a sacrament. Ep. 152

Our lives are shaped by language, even if most of us are not poets.
But it helps to talk to one if you want to reflect deeply on how
language, in the words of this week’s guest, can make or break a
world, can fail us or save us. Pádraig Ó Tuama is an Irish poet and
theologian and host of the podcast “Poetry Unbound” with On Being
Studios. We speak with Pádraig about his love for words, the
politics of poetry and the need for creativity in the work of peace
and reconciliation. In Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley discuss
Pope Francis’ new encyclical of human fraternity, “Fratelli Tutti.”
The hosts give their top three takeaways and share what part of
this (very long) document spoke to them
personally.     We cannot do this work without
