Jesuitical
America MediaWelcome 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?

- 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

An unfortunate representation of the Jesuits. America should return to the focus of young Catholic experience. Maybe better aligned on an EWTN station.
Apple Podcasts1Dawn fanUnited States23 days ago - 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!
Apple Podcasts2VivianAnn4567United States25 days ago - Good show w identity crisis
They discuss relevant topics well, but have an identity crisis. Is it meant to be a serious theological discussion or not? They don’t often ask proper follow ups or obvious ones, instead putting forth their own opinions or agendas. That’s fine, but then don’t sell the show as high-level, serious, catholic journalism. Be more unbiased.

I enjoy this podcast. I originally was interested in young Catholics - wondering if they actually exist. Zach is very knowledgeable and shares his faith with much depth and gives me hope! Ashley is obviously very intelligent and her nervousness comes out in giggles. Many times the giggles are during pretty serious topics. If she could work on that, it would benefit what she is discussing. Perhaps America is looking for that balance between the hosts. The topics are usually paramount to the day.
