Jesuit at Large with George Weigel

George Weigel is my guest. George is the Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, is a Catholic theologian and one of America’s leading public intellectuals. He holds EPPC’s William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies.

Mr. Weigel is perhaps best known for his widely translated and internationally acclaimed two-volume biography of Pope St. John Paul II: the New York Times bestseller, Witness to Hope (1999), and its sequel, The End and the Beginning (2010). In 2017, Weigel published a memoir of the experiences that led to his work as a papal biographer: Lessons in Hope — My Unexpected Life with St. John Paul II. He is the author or editor of more than thirty other books. 

We discuss his new book Jesuit at Large. The book is a collection of essays by Fr. Paul Mankowsky, S. J.  George tells us about the impact Fr. Mankowsky had on himself and the Catholic world.  He shares with us the great talent of Fr. Mankowsky and how he suffered for his convictions.

“I see no reasons for optimism and I see every reason for hope.” – Fr. Paul Mankowsky, S. J.
