#2512 - Pope Leo's comments on Senator Dick Durbin, Pete Hegseth's unprecedented meeting with the generals, and an interview with J.D. and Tamara Long-Garcia

Two theologians walk into a bar... No, seriously: This podcast is about the real world of politics and current events, seen through the lens of Catholic teaching and spirituality.  Your hosts, Fr.

They both have doctorates in theology. It is the best possible kind of nerdy.
