37. Enough is Enough w/ Dean and Matt of The Magnificast, pt 1

I'm joined today by Dean Dettloff and Matt Bernico, co-hosts of The Magnificast podcast and the authors of a brilliant new book, Enough is Enough: Degrowth, Capitalism, and Liberation Theology, out now from Fortress Press.

We start with some basics: what the Magnificat is and why secular leftists should care about it, what "enough is enough" actually means across its political, economic, and spiritual dimensions, and why working within a contradictory religious tradition might be a lot like keeping one's faith in leftism.

Also: was St. Francis of Assisi a proto-socialist? Was he neurodivergent? And how about the Global South rise and Global North suppression of liberation theology? In this era of Pope Leo: does the church still metabolize radical ideas into liberal poetry?

Cool stuff for anyone trying to understand the antifascist religious left that JD Vance doesn't want you to know exists.
