Ep. 208: Father Elias Kabuk & Bishop Gregory Gordon. How can we protect religious freedom abroad?

Steve sits down with Bishop Gregory Gordon and Father Elias Kabuk to discuss attacks on Catholics in Nigeria and what we can do about it, here in the US. This is a sobering interview that covers the recent history of Boko Haram in Western Africa, a terrorist group that has killed over 50,000 people in the last 20 years. Originally from Philadelphia, the Most Reverend Gregory W. Gordon, STL, is the first Auxiliary Bishop of Las Vegas. In the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bishop Gordon serves on the Subcommittee on the Church in Africa. He also serves within the Archdiocese as chaplain to the Catholic Medical Association, and is a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, the Knights of Columbus, and the Knights of Peter Claver. Father Elias Kabuk is Bajju by tribe, speaks Jju, and is from Kaduna State Nigeria. He was ordained a Catholic Priest for the Archdiocese of Kaduna in 2009. During the last 15 years, he has been appointed to work in the Kaduna Archdiocese, Nigeria, the Helena Diocese Montana, and the Archdiocese of Las Vegas. He attended St. John Vianney Minor Seminary, Barkin Ladi, Plateau State, Nigeria and Villanova University in Philadelphia. Father Kabuk loves visiting the sick and homebound and working with those on the margins of society.
