    Jennifer Roback Morse on Human Dignity, Equality, and the Catholic Understanding of the Person

    Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse returns to Driving Home the Faith to continue a wide-ranging conversation with Ken Craycraft about the meaning of human dignity. Building on their discussion of women’s sports and the modern pursuit of equality, Ken and Dr. Morse examine what happens when equality is confused with equivalence—the idea that people must be identical in abilities, talents, characteristics, or outcomes in order to possess equal dignity. They explore the Catholic understanding of dignity as something inherent in every human person because each person is created in the image and likeness of God. From the unborn child to the elderly, the disabled, the sick, and everyone in between, human dignity does not depend on accomplishments, abilities, social status, or external characteristics. The conversation also considers how attempts to manufacture equality can sometimes create new forms of inequality and exclusion, and why the Catholic understanding of human dignity provides a much stronger foundation for human equality than ideological definitions of equivalence. A thoughtful conversation about dignity, equality, human differences, and what it means to recognize the God-given worth of every person.

    Jennifer Roback Morse on Women’s Sports, Title IX, and the Sexual State

    Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, joins Ken Craycraft on Driving Home the Faith to discuss his recent Catholic World Report column examining the controversy surrounding women’s sports and the WNBA. Ken and Dr. Morse explore the debate over biological sex, the purpose of women’s athletics, and the growing influence of transgender ideology on sports and public policy. They also take a closer look at Title IX, its original purpose of expanding opportunities for women in athletics, and how its interpretation has changed over the decades. The conversation also connects these issues to Dr. Morse’s latest book, The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Our Lives, and the broader question of how ideology, law, and cultural power are reshaping our understanding of men, women, and the family. Listen for a thoughtful—and at times humorous—conversation about women’s sports, Title IX, transgender ideology, and the cultural consequences of the Sexual State.

    Brad Torline, director of the Angelico Project, joins Ken Craycraft to preview the 2026–2027 season of the Angelico Project, an association for Catholic arts and letters with roots in Greater Cincinnati and a growing national influence. The new season begins with the Mass for the Renewal of Culture on September 4 at St. Monica–St. George Parish, followed by a full calendar of events designed to bring the Catholic faith into the worlds of art, music, literature, theater, and culture. Brad discusses the Angelico Project's monthly candlelight Masses, which will travel throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, as well as sacred art tours, a new two-day sacred linens workshop, and the upcoming St. Nick Fest and Art Market at Thomas More University. He also previews two major theatrical productions: Father Brown in October and Dante 360, an immersive presentation of Dante's Divine Comedy combining theater, visual art, and sacred music, coming to the Aronoff Center in January 2027. It's a conversation about why Catholics should embrace both faith and culture, and how beauty, art, music, and community can become powerful avenues for evangelization.

    Back Together: Inviting Catholics Back to the Practice of Their Faith

    Sean Ater, Director of the Center for the New Evangelization for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, joins Driving Home the Faith to introduce Back Together, a new initiative designed to help parishes reach out to Catholics who have drifted away from regular participation in the life of the Church. Sean explains how the initiative focuses especially on people who haven't rejected the faith but have simply been caught up in the inertia of everyday life—a new job, a move, changing family circumstances, or simply being too busy. Back Together encourages Catholics to use natural seasons of transition, including back-to-school, Christmas, and Easter, as opportunities to extend a warm and personal invitation back to Mass. The conversation also explores the importance of hospitality, friendship, prayer, and personal accompaniment in evangelization. Sean outlines the four movements of Back Together Sunday: pray, care, invite, and accompany. Parishes can access the free, downloadable Back Together resources and customize them for their own communities through the Archdiocese of Cincinnati's Center for the New Evangelization.

    Theology of the Body and the Healing of the Whole Person with Dr. Emily Dowdell

    What does the Theology of the Body have to do with psychology? On Driving Home the Faith, Dr. Emily Dowdell of Ruah Woods Psychological Services explains how St. John Paul II’s teaching on the body-soul unity and the dignity of the human person provides a foundation for understanding psychological health and healing. She and Dr. Ken Craycraft discuss how modern culture’s confusion about human identity can contribute to isolation and fragmentation—and how bringing the body, mind, emotions, relationships, and spiritual life back into harmony can help us become more fully the people God created us to be. They also explore the Incarnation, Christ as the model of authentic humanity, and how our bodies can reveal what is happening within us—even when our words say something different.

    Building a Culture of Faith: Bishop Earl Fernandes on Seminary Formation, Catholic Education, and Young People

    Dr. Ken Craycraft talks with Bishop Earl Fernandes of the Diocese of Columbus about the importance of formation at every stage of Catholic life. Bishop Fernandes discusses strengthening priestly formation at the Pontifical College Josephinum, helping seminarians develop fraternity and adaptability, and the dramatic growth taking place at Buckeye Catholic at Ohio State University—including new vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life. They also discuss Bishop Fernandes’s first pastoral letter, “Catholic Education: An Act of Hope,” and why he sees Catholic education as a powerful instrument for forming not only students, but teachers, administrators, families, and entire communities. At the heart of Catholic education, he says, must be an encounter with Jesus Christ, along with interiority, unity, love, and joy.
