The Gloria Purvis Podcast

Gloria speaks to Maureen O'Connell, author of the new book Undoing the Knots: Five Generations of American Catholic Anti-Blackness, about becoming white in America and how it unfairly privileged her Irish-Catholic family, even as it cost them part of their unique identity and heritage.

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.
