    Julia is obviously a lovely woman but she is not North American. I don’t understand why you can’t find someone to represent our young folks who is from the United States or Canada. Julia should be representing

    Eastern Europe. I’m not going to go on any further about this because it’s obvious what I’m saying.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside the Foundation Repairing the Legacy of Jesuit Slaveholding
Q: How do you measure success? Or how do you measure reconciliation?
Maddox says she cannot define a point of complete healing, but sees repair as a continuing journey involving descendants, Jesuits, accountability, and the resilience and faith passed down by her ancestors.
Inside the Foundation Repairing the Legacy of Jesuit Slaveholding
Q: What has been happening with the foundation's three pillars over the past couple of years?
Maddox describes scholarships for post-secondary study, home modifications and equipment for elderly descendants, and community programs supporting truth-telling and healing.
Going Deep Into Thomas Merton’s Spirituality
Q: Could you help us understand Merton's perspective on the self, what the true self is, how we get to know it, and how that doesn't slip into egotism?
O'Connell says Merton distinguished the identity given by God from the manufactured self built for public consumption. Spiritual growth means discovering and affirming that God-given identity while letting go of the false self that seeks to make itself the center.
Going Deep Into Thomas Merton’s Spirituality
Q: How did you get into Thomas Merton?
O'Connell first encountered Merton's autobiography during a college retreat but found it dated. A professor later gave him Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, which connected his interests in spirituality, social justice and literature and led him to keep reading Merton.
How Jesuit Football’s Greatest Teacher Won 11 State Titles
Q: I'm just curious about your own kind of reaction, both as you were coaching and those things are being revealed, and then now looking at the state of the game and what we know about, especially to brain injuries from those kind of subconcussive hits over time.
Kyle describes changes in medical understanding and football technique, including keeping the head out of contact and teaching shoulder-led tackles. He says concussion research should continue and that contact sports should examine their risks.
