Can Jesuit spirituality save our politics?

Cyrus Habib is perhaps most interesting (and inspiring) politician
you haven’t heard of—yet—unless, of course, you listened to our
interview with him back in May 2018. Amid a chaotic primary season
and after a polarizing impeachment trial, we thought it was a good
time to bring back this hopeful conversation about faith and
politics.  Cyrus is the 16th and current Lieutenant Governor
of Washington State. Born in Baltimore, Md., Cyrus is a three-time
cancer survivor and has been fully blind since he was 8-years-old.
His parents immigrated to the United States from Iran before he was
born, and he is both the first and only Iranian-American official
to hold statewide elected office in the United States. We ask Cyrus
how his Catholic faith shapes his public service and how citizens
and politicians alike can work toward the common good in these
polarized times. (Originally released on May 25, 2018) Learn more
