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?

  • Christianity as lived in the everyday world

    This engaging Catholic podcast brings the youthful enthusiasm of its presenters to bear on serious and challenging issues facing catholics in daily life. The guests include prominent priests, sisters, theologians and lay people and the discussions are thoughtful but with lots of fun and energy. After listening to this podcast for a few months now I feel I have new Catholic friends whose thoughts on new issues I want to hear each week.

  • Garbage

    Garbage liberal Catholics that have no concept of historical Church teaching. Support bishops and lay Catholics that undermine the Faith. Their biggest concerns are “social justice,” rather than repentance. A mockery of true religion. A shame.

  • Surprised and disappointed that, in this discussion of mysticism, there is no mention of or reference to Richard Rohr. IMO, Rohr offers a more convincing, understandable, and detailed presentation of mysticism than Critchley. To not reference or credit Rohr in this discussion seems like a glaring omission.
