The idea behind this show is pretty simple: We invite scholars, makers, and professionals out to brunch for an informal conversation about their work, and then we turn those brunches into a podcast.It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.John McGreevy is the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at Notre Dame and served as dean of the University’s College of Arts and Letters from 2008–2018. Specializing in modern political and religious history, he is the author of three books and has received major fellowships from the Mellon Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies, among others. John joined host Ted Fox to talk about the most recent of those three books, American Jesuits and the World: How an Embattled Religious Order Made Modern Catholicism Global, which was published by Princeton University Press.American Jesuits and the World focuses on the period after the nation’s founding, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when John says the Jesuits were viewed, often disparagingly, as “the most Catholic of all Catholics.” It was against this backdrop that they authored an American story with just as many layers as you would expect.LINKJohn’s Book: American Jesuits and the World: How an Embattled Religious Order Made Modern Catholicism Global

Jacques Maritain, Democratic Crisis, and the Promise and Peril of a Global Catholic HistoryUshaw Lecture by Professor John McGreevy (University of Notre Dame)--About the LectureJacques Maritain is often described as the most important Catholic intellectual of the mid-20th century.

Maritain's successes and failures around the world during this period - from Argentina to France to Canada - offer insight into how a global view better helps us understand contemporary Catholic history.--About the SpeakerJohn McGreevy is the Francis A.
