    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.

Pope Leo's AI Encyclical is Not (Just) About AI
Q: So curious from your initial impressions to then taking in the response and sitting with it longer. If you went back to do another address, say, would there be anything that would be different or things that you would highlight based on the reception so far?
The reception among younger audiences has highlighted the encyclical's constructive vision for being human, offering nourishment for those resisting harmful trends and emphasizing discernment and community response rather than panic.
The Jesuit "Full Stop:" Understanding Tertianship with Fr. Andrew Laguna, SJ
Q: How does the place and the master influence the experience?
Discerning where to go for Tertianship involves choosing language, region, and a Tertian master who guides through the exercises and helps connect Ignatian heritage to personal life, with Spain and Loyola/Javier/Ignatian sites highlighted as particularly meaningful.
The Jesuit "Full Stop:" Understanding Tertianship with Fr. Andrew Laguna, SJ
Q: What is Tertianship, and how does it fit into Jesuit life?
Tertianship is described as the school of the heart that revisits the novitiate experiences,Prayer, and the Constitutions to prepare for final vows, occurring after years of ordination and practice to deepen discernment and renewed commitment.
One Man, One Mission, Three Jesuit Schools: Mark Dushel on Ignatian Mission in Baltimore
Q: How do you see the three schools fitting together and working hand in hand for the greater glory of God?
By aligning on Ignatian spirituality as the bedrock, sharing best practices, and connecting families and students across the network, while leveraging the unique strengths of each school's community to extend resources beyond campus walls.
One Man, One Mission, Three Jesuit Schools: Mark Dushel on Ignatian Mission in Baltimore
Q: So tell us about the role, what it looks like, and maybe how it plays out in practice.
The director of mission role involves animating the Jesuit charism across three schools so faculty, staff, and boards understand and practice the mission, with at least one day per week spent at each school to build relationships and coordinate formation.
