George Floyd's murder demanded more from the Catholic Church

The Gloria Purvis Podcast

One year after the brutal murder of George Floyd, Gloria Purvis isn't feeling healed; she's feeling determined to address the sin of racism in society and in the Catholic Church. On the first episode of the podcast, Gloria speaks to Fr. Erich Rutten of Saint Peter Claver Catholic Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, a historically Black Catholic parish a few miles from where George Floyd was killed. What was the parish's response to the murder and how have they dealt with the trauma over the past year?

About Podcast

Too many voices are not being heard in the Catholic Church today. "The Gloria Purvis Podcast" is a new podcast from America Media hosted by radio personality and Catholic commentator, Gloria Purvis. The podcast centers the opinions, stories and experiences of individuals who have been marginalized in the Catholic Church and in society. A consistent ethic of life informs the conversations and honestly critiques narrow applications of Catholic teachings and ideological attitudes. It's not liberal, it's not conservative. It's all about fostering a culture of charitable dialogue around the most complex and contentious issues in the Catholic Church today. It's just Catholic. Episodes will release weekly.
