Father James Martin on Jesus’s Greatest Miracle

On the season premier of Jesuitical’s seventh season, Zac and Ashley talk with their friend and colleague James Martin, S.J., who is out with a brand new book, Come Forth: The Promise of Jesus's Greatest Miracle. They ask Father Martin:

• If Jesus actually raised Lazarus from the dead (and do Catholic have to believe it)
• What Mary, Martha and Lazarus can teach us about friendship
• And how we can all come forth into new life in our daily lives

In Signs of the Times, we discuss the “DJ Priest” who made headlines at World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal, and ask: Were Pope Francis’ criticisms of “reactionary” Catholics in the United States fair (or helpful)?
