From Abortion to Gaza: The Catholic Duty to Stand with the Scapegoat (Jason Jones) | Ep. 38

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

While we normally would have a monologue this week, the urgency of the situation in places like Gaza compelled us to publish this interview sooner than later.

In this episode, we interview world-renowned humanitarian Jason Jones, founder of the Vulnerable People Project (VPP). Jason is a Catholic convert from atheism, and through his deep study of the Great Tradition, has built his life's work of promoting a culture of life and human dignity based on a simple principle: Catholics have a duty to stand with the scapegoat.

His work has taken him from the halls of power in Washington, DC advocating for the dignity of the unborn, to some of the most troubled spots on earth: Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and now Gaza. In a world constantly trying to get us to pick unworthy sides in sordid conflicts, Jason embodies what it means for Catholics to not merely think about the Great Tradition, but to live it out in our lives: sacrificially taking up the cross of Our Scapegoat Jesus Christ, and standing with all the other scapegoats the world abuses and destroys for its own purposes.

Jason Jones is a film producer, author, activist, popular podcast host, and dedicated human rights worker. He is also a member of Eternal Christendom's Advisory Board.
