Faith, Justice, and Global Solidarity: Honoring Pope Francis and Confronting Poverty Abroad

On this week’s episode of JustLove, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan speaks with Bill O’Keefe, Executive Vice President for Mission and Mobilization at Catholic Relief Services, about recent changes and reductions in U.S. federal funding for international poverty relief, how these shifts are affecting the organization’s global mission, and what listeners can do to support vulnerable communities abroad. Following a brief break, Monsignor Sullivan is joined by Prof. Jeffery Tyler Syck, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pikeville, who reflects on his recent tribute to Pope Francis in Persuasion magazine, written shortly after the Pope’s passing on Easter Monday highlighting the Pope’s moral courage as “a good man in a strong man’s world.”
