Young people struggle with Catholic teachings–and that's ok.

There is a generational chasm in Catholic communities. Older Catholics struggle to understand the minds and hearts of younger people. Young people are uninspired by a typical parish community or reluctant to attend programs designed to bring them in or back to church. That doesn't mean they're unreligious or disinterested in Catholicism. Ashley McKinless and Zac Davis recognized this back in 2017 and started a podcast community to create a space for young adults to talk about their spirituality, questions and even their struggles with Catholic teachings. To celebrate Jesuitical's 200th episode, Gloria welcomes Ashley and Zac for an honest and entertaining conversation about young people and the Church today.
