George and Gabby had the privilege of sitting down with Tess GC of LeftCatholic/SpiritofSolidarity and Dr. Joerg Rieger.
They engaged in a discussion about religion, justice, and leftist philosophy and activism. They cover the concept of deep solidarity, the role of confession and repentance within the secular left, the nature of organizing and the issues being addressed, the importance of understanding the left as a majority Populist movement, the role of the professional managerial class in societal structures, the role of moralizing movements, and their experiences with Catholicism.
