  • Jesus: Undercover Boss or God with Us? (Anne Blackwill)- Holy Week and the Passion

    Jesus: Undercover Boss or God with Us? (Anne Blackwill)- Holy Week and the Passion
    Apr 5 2026
    As we move into Holy Week, the Triduum, Easter and its season, all Christians ask themselves ‘what is this all about?’ and why God created such and elaborate salvific economy that relies on our faith and His actions. Why? There’s a great Mystery here and the more we appreciate its size and depth, even if we don’t understand what we are seeing. Anne Blackwill and I have been talking about doing this interview for the better part of the year and we finally did it this last week, on the day before Palm Sunday. I think it went really well and I’m excited to share it with you. Anne is a wise and wonderful woman, a literature professor who has taught all over he world in universities and colleges and also prisons. She my mother-in-law, the mother of my wife and the grandmother of my children; I’ve known her for twenty years and during this time she has been working on the book we are talking about today. Its working title is God with Us, that is of course: Emmanuel.

  • The Tree of Life (Bryan Zahnd)

    The Tree of Life (Bryan Zahnd)
    Mar 8 2026
    “The movie is a prayer,” says Bryan Zahnd, about Terrence Mallick’s 2011 The Tree of Life, his favorite movie of all time. Bryan has seen it forty times (I have seen it three times); Bryan has taken his pastoral team from his Missouri Church to see it; he has shown it to his Congregation in Church. The film follows a family in Texas in the 1950s. Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain are the parents; they have three sons. Sean Penn plays the oldest boy when he is grown in the 1980s. It’s a sermon on theodicy, creation, eschatology, all of it, all of it. And it’s just very beautiful and interesting. If you’ve not seen it, go see it first, and then come back and talk it over with us! Pastor Byran’s website.

  • Church and State (Professors Dan Rober, Michelle Loris, and Charlie Gillespie): American Cardinals denounce US Foreign Policy

    Church and State (Professors Dan Rober, Michelle Loris, and Charlie Gillespie): American Cardinals denounce US Foreign Policy
    Feb 6 2026
    Following Pope Leo’s State of the World Address in January of 2026, the three American Cardinals who are also diocesan archbishops Cardinal Cupich (Archbishop of Chicago), Cardinal McElroy (Archbishop of Washington), and Cardinal Tobin (Archbishop of Newark)—in addition to Archbishop Broglio, the pastor of the US military—have been reminding the people of the United States that the American government is wrong to prop up the Venezuelan regime while sidelining its democratically elected leader, that it is wrong to withdraw aid from the global poor, that it is are wrong to covet Greenland and betray our NATO allies in a way that not only fails to oppose the ambitions of Putin and Xi Jin Ping but actually endorses their land-grabbing adventures. The United States is also wrong to use cruelty and chaos in the (otherwise lawful) enforcement of immigration rules. It’s been a bad dream and difficult and disorienting to wake up from. Three professors from Sacred Heart University in Connecticut talk it over with me on Almost Good Catholics. They are theologian Dan Rober, chair of Catholic Studies, author of Recognizing the Gift: Toward a Renewed Theology of Nature and Grace, English professor Michelle Loris, founder and previous chair of Catholic Studies, also founder of the universities core seminars program, and Charlie Gillespie, director the university’s Pioneer Journeys program, himself an expert on St. Augustine; his new book is about the theater, God on Broadway. Pope Leo’s State of the World Address on January 9, 2026 (and transcript) the statement (also here) by the three cardinals (NPR article, and America article) Sacred Heart University: Catholic Studies Department. An episode of Almost Good Catholics on the same theme: Fr David Hollenbach, SJ on Almost Good Catholics, episode 99: Human Rights in a Divided World: Catholicism as a Living Tradition.
