Why the Catholic Church Is Having a Moment | The Interview

Описание

The Rev. James Martin is a Jesuit Catholic priest, a best-selling author and the editor at large at America Magazine. He is also a consultant to the Vatican’s communication department. Part of Father Martin’s job is to help explain the Catholic Church to Americans, which he does on social media, in his writing and even on late-night talk shows. He has ministered to L.G.B.T.Q. Catholics and is part of the progressive wing of the church. Over the past year, American bishops and clergy have increasingly spoken out against President Trump’s policies, including on immigration. Father Martin shared his views on the immigration crackdown and the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. (The conversation took place before federal agents killed Alex Pretti on Jan. 24.) “The Interview” host Lulu Garcia-Navarro and Father Martin also talked about his new book, “Work in Progress,” which is about his teenage summer jobs and how they prepared him for a life of service.
