This week on Jesuitical, Ashley and Zac chat with Bryan McCarthy, who teaches philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, Greensburg, and is the author of a new paper, “Christianity and Psychedelic Medicine: A Pastoral Approach.” They discuss:
- What the church teaches about drugs and intoxication
- How psychedelic drugs are being used in therapeutic settings, and how Christians should respond
- Bryan’s own religious experiences while using psychedelic drugs
During Signs of the Times, Ashley and Zac give initial reactions to the new working document for the Synod on Synodality and discuss a curious story involving a fake priest and serious labor violations out of California.
