This week on “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac chat with Chris Cimorelli. Chris is the director of the National Institute for Newman Studies and the editor of the Newman Studies Journal, and an expert on St. John Henry Cardinal Newman, the newest doctor of the church. They also discuss Pope Leo’s recent comments on the importance of providing pastoral care to migrants being held in detention centers throughout the United States, they unpack the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith’s new document on the proper titles for Mary, and look at Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia basilica becoming the world’s tallest church last week.
