Ep. 176: First Things’ Matthew Schmitz on Hitchcock, Integralism, China and the Catholic Church, and more!

Paul and Olivia host First Things’ Matthew Schmitz for a motley discussion on issues ranging from the broader themes about American identity and society found in Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest to the impact of Twitter and social media on contemporary politics. We also delve into whether Integralism provides a legitimate way forward, Pope Francis’ problematic dealings with the Chinese government, and the growing influence of First Things on American political commentary.
