Announcing Just Politics Season 2

People of faith believe God is at work in the world around us. But this can be hard to see, given the state of politics in the United States, especially when religious leaders often seem fixated on all the wrong issues, and many faith communities appear reluctant to address political issues at all.

The Just Politics podcast is dedicated to asking the hard questions and taking on the most pressing issues, in light of the conviction that a more just society is a real possibility, not simply an idealistic dream. In the first season of the podcast, our hosts tackled such questions as: What does it mean to be truly pro-family? How do we effectively confront racism and white supremacy? How should Catholics respond to the rise of white Christian nationalism? And how can fidelity to gospel values and Catholic social teaching guide us as we strive to engage with these issues as good citizens?

Now Just Politics is back for a second season, with the first episode dropping on February 6 and new episodes every two weeks until May 1. Engaged citizens seeking concrete solutions to our nation's problems, and Catholics wondering how best to put our faith into practice in civil society, can tune in to hear our hosts and guests discuss issues such as health care access, reparatory justice, economic equity, and the need for women's leadership.

A better kind of politics is possible. We just need to find the tools to make it a reality.
