Spiritual direction for Nones. Ep. 122

This week, we talk to Kaya Oakes, a contributing writer for America
and a teacher at the University of California, Berkeley. Kaya is
the author of The Nones Are Alright: A New Generation of Believers,
Seekers, and Those in Between on the religiously unaffiliated or
religious “nones.” Most recently, she wrote an article on spiritual
direction and why so many non-Christians are seeking the practice.
We talk to Kaya about Ignatian spiritual direction, her training to
become a spiritual director and more. In Signs of the Times, we
discuss the appointment of Cardinal Luis Tagle, a.k.a. “Chito,” as
the prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples;
Nancy Pelosi’s viral “As a Catholic” moment; the Nativity scene
depicting Mary, Jesus and Joseph in cages; new research on how the
gap between church attendance among the poorest and richest in
America has grown since the 1970s; and how Blue Christmas services
can help people struggling during the holidays. Feel free to send
