Crown and Crozier Podcast

In Crown and Crozier, we invite leading thinkers to explore how the human experience is shaped by the interplay between Church and State, and what this means for tackling the great challenges of today. Join us as we examine what’s at stake for us as citizens and as a society in the dynamic engagement between civil and religious authority. The common good, basic freedoms, dignity of the person, administration of justice, self-government, the preservation of truth, goodness and beauty - all this and more hangs in the balance.

    Putting Faith Before Politics and Being a Catholic, Pro-Life Democrat ~ Dan Lipinski

    Depending on who you ask, former Congressman Dan Lipinski is something of a rare specimen, endangered species - or perhaps even a white martyr.He represented the 3rd congressional district of Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2005 to 2021.Among his claims to fame is maintaining both his Democratic Party affiliation and a staunchly pro-life voting record, even in the midst of his party leadership adopting permissive and militant policy positions in favour of abortion.This cour...

    Wait, There's a Woman Representing the Holy See? ~ Mary Ann Glendon

    To work in the Vatican during one pontificate is a rare privilege for any member of the laity. To work for three different pontificates, including as an official representative of the Holy See (and a female representative, no less) - well, that just puts you in the hall of fame.Mary Ann Glendon has cultivated a long and distinguished record of service to the Catholic Church: head of the Holy See’s delegation to the World Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995; Member and President ...

    Defending the Morality of Capitalism ~ Yuval Levin

    In this episode, Dr. Yuval Levin offers a spirited defense of capitalism on moral grounds, recognizing that the most serious criticisms against capitalism aren’t necessarily about prosperity and wealth, but about the perceived moral failings of the economic system.This approach is actually consistent with the original case for capitalism, articulated by Adam Smith himself, who was first and foremost a moral philosopher.Along the way, we talk about the essential virtues within Smith’s philosop...

    The Case for Christian Nationalism ~ Stephen Wolfe

    What is a nation? What is a Christian nation? Is nationalism virtuous? What does it mean to practice "complacent" love, which is the natural expression of a greater affinity for those closest to us? How can we expect to renew our society and civilization in the absence of committing ourselves as persons and as a nation to Christ? And is a Capitol Hill rioter from January 6, 2021 the archetype or the caricature of a Christian nationalist?We explore these and other...
