Welcome to Jesuitical, a podcast for young Catholics hosted by two young, lay editors at America—Zac Davis and Ashley McKinless. Each episode features a guest who offers a unique perspective on faith, culture or current events. We also bring you some of the top (and maybe more obscure) Catholic news of the week. And we'll ask: Where do we find God in all this?

  • Bad representation of the Catholic Church

  • Gave it a chance but this is a pass

    I cannot listen to a podcast with hosts praising Jordan Peterson. No thanks.

  • Ummm

    Really kind of shocked at how dismissive this podcast was of the very real reasons I and many others in my life left the church. I stumbled across this podcast helping my mom find another America podcast and found calm and grounding in an excellent episode about responding to political violence and tragedy. But the episode about why Catholics leave was both superficial and a bit insulting- that perhaps we just weren’t fully “in” the Church to begin with, as opposed to wrestling with very real q... more

  • Unfollowing after several years.

    An unfortunate representation of the Jesuits. America should return to the focus of young Catholic experience. Maybe better aligned on an EWTN station.

  • Used to love, now disappointing

    Used to love this podcast and felt a sense of belonging listening to it as a left-leaning Catholic. Unfortunately, the first few episodes of this season have made me realize that this podcast is no longer for me. Ashley is frequently talking about being frustrated with people on the left and a lot of the Jesuit-ness of the show seems to have gotten lost. Really recommend Fr. James Martin’s newish podcast to anyone in a similar position to me!
