Post-Election Reflections: George Weigel on Catholic Voters, Campaign Rhetoric, and the Call for Statesmanship

 

How should Catholic voters process recent election cycles, partisan exhaustion, and the state of civic discourse? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes distinguished Catholic biographer and historian George Weigel, Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of Witness to Hope, The Truth of Catholicism, and To Sanctify the World. Weigel reflects on voter exhaustion with negative campaign ads and personal attacks, analyzing why many voters are yearning for genuine statesmanship rooted in personal character, clear principle, and constructive vision. Drawing parallels to historic moments such as the Election of 1860, Weigel and Craycraft discuss the urgent need for leaders who appeal to the "better angels of our nature." Stream now!
