‘Jesuitical’ is a Catholic podcast hosted by two young editors Zac Davis and Ashley McKinless, and is from the Jesuit America Magazine based in the US.

Each episode explores Catholic news of the week, along with a guest speaker to reflect on their faith and experiences.

Our Co-Founder and Director Avril Baigent is in Rome as a facilitator for the Synod Assembly, and she was interviewed by Zac and Ashley in October 2024 to talk about the concrete and practical ways a parish could become more Synodal at the grassroots.

Avril’s interview begin at 13:38 minutes:

Some of the questions asked in this episode:

  • Does every decision in the church need to be made “synodaly”?

  • Is the “conversations in the spirit” method capable of producing concrete proposals?
