In this powerful episode of Renewing the Spirit, we confront the current state of immigration in the United States through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. As political debates intensify and border policies shift, we return to the Gospel mandate to welcome the stranger and uphold the dignity of every human being.
Pope Francis, of happy memory, a strong voice for justice and mercy reminds all people of good faith, and especially Catholics: “Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity. They are children, women and men who leave or who are forced to leave their homes for various reasons, who share a legitimate desire for knowing and being, but above all for being more.”
Join us as we explore how the Church is called to respond—with compassion, justice, and a prophetic voice for the voiceless. Whether you're on the front lines of advocacy or seeking to better understand the Church's teaching, this episode will inspire, challenge, and equip you.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
