Uncover a powerful episode on the Virtuous Leaders Podcast as Dr. Johann D'Souza sits down with Kelsey Reinhardt, Head of Media and Evangelization at CatholicVote.


With her extensive experience as Executive Director of Media at EWTN, overseeing six global press offices in seven languages, Kelsey offers a rare glimpse into the heart of the worldwide Church.


Her bold initiative to establish a Catholic news agency in Arabic for persecuted Christians in Iraq reflects her unwavering commitment to spotlighting the struggles of the faithful.


Top 5 Insights from Kelsey Reinhardt

• Kelsey’s role at EWTN gave her a profound view of the universal Church, driving her mission to reveal its beauty and struggles through media outreach.• She founded a news agency in Erbil, Iraq, risking her safety alongside local journalists to report on persecuted Christians, inspired by a deep sense of shared mission.• Kelsey highlights the often-ignored suffering of Christians in the Middle East, noting historical events like the 2003 US invasion as triggers for ongoing violence.• She stresses the urgency for a zero-tolerance policy on abuse within the Church, advocating for immediate removal of offending clergy and leaders who cover up such acts.• Despite crises like financial corruption and ambiguity in Church governance, Kelsey urges personal sanctification through Mass and confession as a source of enduring hope.
