Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Kids Are Not Alright (with Victoria Holmes)
Q: What has your experience been like as a Catholic in political discussions in D.C.?
I find that many younger Catholics I meet are leaning towards more authoritarian views, which is concerning, but I've also encountered a supportive community willing to engage in dialogue.
The Kids Are Not Alright (with Victoria Holmes)
Q: What inspired you to create the video about Catholics and Franco?
I was inspired by seeing discussions about Franco being portrayed as a hero online, which conflicted with my experiences in Spain where Franco was viewed negatively.
Family Policy with Catherine Pakaluk
Q: What are some important arguments then for that, that children are an economic blessing or are a blessing for a country?
Children contribute to the economy through creativity and ingenuity, leading to resource abundance.
Family Policy with Catherine Pakaluk
Q: What inspired you to write this book, Hannah's Children?
I was concerned about low birth rates and aimed to study the aspects of civilizational health that contribute to better birth rates.
Civil Rights with Dawn Eden Goldstein
Q: How did you get interested in this? How did you come to learn about this?
I found at the Georgetown University Library on their book sales shelf, which they no longer have, a slim book, less than 100 pages, about Father Twomey.
