  • Blessed to hear Andrew on the Press!

    Andrew, wonderful to see you sharing your talents with Ignatius Press and the world! I just listened to your delightfully rich chat with Fr. Wetta. He is a classic…so quirky and holy…a real-life saint in the making! For years, I have been handing his books out like candy. I actually gave his recent one away to a student, before I was able to finish it ;) You are a wonderful podcast host …excellent timing and humble and respectful pausing for your guest:-) Ignatius Press is blessed to have you!👍... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Massacre and Wedding of Magdeburg
Q: So I just wonder, representing Ignatius Press, what's your vision for continuing to bring that to people?
Vivian describes Ignatius Press's mission to publish beautiful, truth-containing literature—especially fiction and poetry—as a complement to theological works, emphasizing the role of art in communicating faith.
Building a Household Where People Matter w/ Dr. Cuddeback
Q: You say, we do not really live in our homes. Tell us what you mean and the implications.
Living at home should embody shared life and daily practice; many modern homes fail to cultivate deep, intentional community, which diminishes human flourishing. The point is to reframe daily routines and structures around people rather than convenience or screens.
Shahbaz Bhatti: A Modern Day Martyr Nobody Knows About
Q: What inspired you to tell Shahbaz Bhatti's story through a graphic novel?
The creators wanted to reach younger audiences with a living, relatable portrait of Bhatti, highlighting his courage and faith, while balancing factual accuracy with compelling storytelling.
Henri de Lubac Predicted the Rise of Constructive Atheism w/ Fr. Cajetan Cuddy
Q: Could you briefly talk about your conversion and how you came to the Catholic faith?
The guest describes growing up in an evangelical non-denominational family, encountering Catholic authors like Joseph Ratzinger and Gary Goulagrand during college, and ultimately transferring to Steubenville where prominent Catholic theologians guided his conversion toward a Catholic understanding of Thomism.
Jon Voight on Portraying Pope Saint John Paul II
Q: how do you prepare for this role?
He explains that preparation involved reading books, watching videos, praying, and deeply engaging with John Paul II's words and life to capture his essence and voice.
