5:20 – Canon 915, the Church in Russia, Catholics at the polls, and the foundations of democracy
Fr. Marcel Guarnizo is a Diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Moscow, Russia who was one of the first priests ordained in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1998. Born in the US, he is possibly best known here for a media firestorm stemming from his denial of Holy Communion to a professed lesbian. We talk about that incident, his work for the Church in Russia and Eastern Europe, Catholic responsibility in elections, and his recent publication on Economics, Philosophy and the Foundations of Democracy.
