Joining a parish (or club) could save your life.

This week, Jesuitical is joined by Pete Davis to talk about his new documentary “Join or Die,” “a film about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America depends on it.” They discuss:

• Why Americans join fewer clubs and associations than they used to
• Why churches are suffering the same fate
• The work of Robert Putnam in his groundbreaking book, Bowling Alone

During Signs of the Times, Zac highlights a new transcript of Pope Francis in conversation with Jesuits in Hungary.
