Divine Intervention is the untold story of a ragtag band of radical nuns in combat boots, wild-haired priests and their madcap friends who swiftly became accomplished cat-burglars in a hellbent effort to sabotage the Vietnam war. Many went to jail, some betrayed their friends, others fell in love. Across 10 episodes, host Brendan Patrick Hughes uncovers their audacious illegal acts – scaling walls, picking locks, destroying draft cards, harboring a draft fugitive in a church sanctuary, and trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover. 

シーズン 1

  1. エピソード 1

    An Explosive Cauldron

    It's 1971 and Paul Couming is a member of the underground Catholic resistance to the Vietnam war. Two years ago, he sent his draft card back to the government, refusing to take part in the bloodshed. Now, as he faces trial, a harebrained scheme emerges to give him political sanctuary in a downtown Boston Catholic Church, the first of its kind in 400 years.

  2. エピソード 2

    Chapter 2: The Drunken Banjo Player

    Father Patrick is the wild-haired radical priest who plans to harbor Paul Couming, but how did he get this way? A very unusual pope, attending seminary during the tumult of the 1960’s, and being a born party animal may have something to do with it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  3. エピソード 3

    Chapter 3: The Nun in Combat Boots

    Anne Walsh is the combat booted nun who masterminds the Paul Couming sanctuary. Like Father Patrick, she started out as a good Catholic conformist. But when her convent's father confessor begins breaking the law to sabotage the draft, a whole new life of crime opens up for her. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
