Faith, Freedom, and Fireworks: An American Pope and the Spirit of Barbecue
Description

On this Fourth of July weekend episode of JustLove, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan explores themes of American identity, global leadership, and summer tradition. He begins with a timely conversation with Professor Mathias Risse, the Berthold Beitz Professor of Human Rights, Global Affairs, and Philosophy at Harvard’s Kennedy School and Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. They discuss the historic election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff, and the broader significance of an American occupying the Chair of Saint Peter at this moment in Church and world history. In the second half of the show, Monsignor Sullivan shifts from the spiritual to the celebratory, speaking with two barbecue experts, Mathew Glazier, owner of Morgan’s Brooklyn Barbecue, and Meghan Love, owner of Mable’s Smokehouse, about the culture, craft, and community behind one of America’s favorite Independence Day traditions.
