Young people struggle with Catholic teachings–and that's ok.

The Gloria Purvis Podcast

There is a generational chasm in Catholic communities. Older Catholics struggle to understand the minds and hearts of younger people. Young people are uninspired by a typical parish community or reluctant to attend programs designed to bring them in or back to church. That doesn't mean they're unreligious or disinterested in Catholicism. Ashley McKinless and Zac Davis recognized this back in 2017 and started a podcast community to create a space for young adults to talk about their spirituality, questions and even their struggles with Catholic teachings. To celebrate Jesuitical's 200th episode, Gloria welcomes Ashley and Zac for an honest and entertaining conversation about young people and the Church today.

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.
