KAPOLEI, Hawaii. (March 25, 2020) — Patrick Novecosky, editor of this blog, was a guest on The Jason Jones Show podcast today.
During the 70-minute podcast, host Jason Jones asked Novecosky about his new book, 100 Ways John Paul II Changed the World, which commemorates Pope St. John Paul the Great’s 100th birthday, coming up on May 18, 2020. They discussed the 25th anniversary of both men’s favorite papal encyclical — Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), which Novecosky calls “the Magna Carta of the pro-life movement.”
