The Hidden Engine of the Economy: How the Catholic Church Powers Minnesota’s Communities

lundi 5 mai 2025 • Durée 47:42

In this episode of Catholic in America, host Jason Adkins welcomes Dr. Anna Faria and Dr. Grant Clayton — economists from the University of Colorado — to unpack their groundbreaking study, Fruits of the Vine: The Economic Impact of the Catholic Church in Minnesota.

While faith institutions are often praised for spiritual and charitable contributions, this new research shines light on a lesser-known dimension: the Church’s staggering $5.4 billion annual impact on Minnesota's economy.

Through parishes, schools, hospitals, charitable organizations, and capital projects, the Catholic Church supports thousands of jobs, reduces public costs, and strengthens communities statewide.

The conversation explores:

Why measuring the Church’s economic footprint matters for public policy
How volunteerism, education, and magnet effects (like weddings and pilgrimages) ripple through the local economy
The role of civil society in American life and why the Church’s presence remains vital
Why policymakers should protect the Church’s freedom to serve, especially in an increasingly secular culture

Tune in for this eye-opening discussion that makes a compelling case for the Church’s visible — and often invisible — role in building the common good.

The Sexual State EXPOSED: How Elites Hijacked Marriage, Family, and Your Kids’ Future with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse

mardi 22 avril 2025 • Durée 53:03

In this bold and eye-opening episode of Catholic in America, Jason Adkins is joined by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, to expose the institutional forces behind the sexual revolution—and how the Church’s teachings are not only relevant, but prophetic.

Dr. Morse, a trained economist and former professor at Yale and George Mason, dives deep into how elite ideologies—disguised as progress—have systematically dismantled family life through no-fault divorce, contraception, and gender ideology. From propaganda in U.S. foreign aid to the ideology embedded in public schools, Dr. Morse explains why the Sexual Revolution is not grassroots—but an elite-driven, top-down campaign of cultural colonization.

Together, Jason and Dr. Morse discuss:

Why the Church has been right all along about sexuality and marriage
The myth of “neutral” sexual education and its real agenda
How population control and foreign policy shaped feminism and gender ideology
Why stories from survivors of the Sexual Revolution are changing the conversation
What it means to raise a family in a world ruled by “The Sexual State”

Dr. Morse doesn’t hold back—and neither should we. If you’re concerned about the future of children, family, and faith, this conversation is a must-listen.
