Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Catholic Church and Freemasonry with David L. Gray
Q: Does Freemasonry acknowledge or discuss Jesus, and where does Jesus figure in their teachings?
In the early degrees, Jesus is only alluded to or not mentioned; in many branches, Jesus is not part of their explicit theology, and only in some mid-degree rites may there be indirect references, which contrasts with Catholic doctrine that centers on Jesus Christ as divine.
The Catholic Church and Freemasonry with David L. Gray
Q: What exactly is Freemasonry morally and where does that moral system come from?
Freemasonry derives its moral code from sources like Anderson's Constitution (1723), presenting a universal religion and a set of conduct rules that are framed as man-made, not grounded in God or Christian revelation, which the Catholic Church views as incompatible with its divine law.
Antisemitism and the Catholic Church with Simone Rizkallah
Q: If you could talk to Pope Leo XIV about anti-Semitism, what would you want him to do?
I would highlight the importance of addressing anti-Semitism as a key part of his agenda in improving Jewish-Catholic relations.
Antisemitism and the Catholic Church with Simone Rizkallah
Q: What distinguishes anti-Semitism from other forms of exclusion?
Anti-Semitism is grounded in anti-Judaic sentiment tied to Christian theology, distinguishing it from other forms of racial hatred.
Reading with Love: Great Books with Dr. Elizabeth Reyes
Q: How do you teach your students to interpret literature?
Reyes stresses the importance of starting with a literal understanding before moving to deeper allegorical meanings to appreciate the full richness of the text.
