Sarah Silverman on whether hell exists and why she loves the Jesuits Ep. 56

“You know, I don’t know about Jesuits except what I am learning,”
Sarah Silverman tells us on this week’s episode of Jesuitical.
“Every Jesuit I meet, I find that I adore and just love the
bringing emotion and feelings and intellect together.” Every week,
during the interview portion of the podcast, we feature a guest,
Catholic and sometimes non-Catholic, that offers an interesting
perspective on faith, culture or the news. This week, we welcome
Sarah, a comedian, actress and host of “I Love You America with
Sarah Silverman.” We discuss why she loves Jesuit priests even as a
non-believer, whether or not hell exists and why the world
desperately needs Mr. Rogers. Before our conversation with Sarah
(which starts at 12:15), we discuss and analyze this week’s top
Catholic news:this year’s NCAA tournament champions, Villanova and
Notre Dame; and Joan Roanhauer, the first woman to lead Jesuit
Refugee Services. We also discuss Pope Francis’ latest Easter
message, in which he calls for an end to conflicts in the Holy Land
and Syria. April 4 also marked 50 years since the assassination of
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis. We talk about Dr. King’s
legacy, his influence on people like Pope Francis and the
whitewashing of his beliefs. We also discuss the killing of
22-year-old Stephon Clark in Sacramento. Please tweet

email jesuitical@americamedia.org and let us know your
reactions to our conversation with Sarah. And please leave us a
review on Apple podcasts and tell your friends about the show.
