Deacons Pod: Staying Catholic When the Church Seems Stuck – Mollie Wilson O’Reilly

May 27, 2025

Mollie Wilson O’Reilly, Editor-at-Large of Commonweal Magazine, is our guest on this episode of Deacons Pod.

The Paulist Deacon Affiliates ask Mollie about her early impressions of Pope Leo XIV; the role of LGBTQ+ people and women in the Church; and why she remains a Catholic when the Church seems to be stuck in some ways.

They also chat about Mollie’s reflection for the Fourth Sunday of Easter shared by the Catholic Women Preach initiative.

Hear more from Mollie on Bluesky.
