Join us for the final panel in our spring series: The Red-Blue Divide in the American Catholic Church 📅 June 4, 2025 🕔 5:00–8:00 PM 📍 Hertog Foundation, 2001 S St NW, #400 🥗 Light food & refreshments will be provided 🎟️ Register here: https://icrd-panel-red-blue-divide-church.eventbrite.com What does it mean to be politically Catholic in America today? From Biden to Rubio, AOC to Vance, Catholics across the political spectrum hold church-affiliated positions on issues as far-ranging as the status of undocumented immigrants and the status of abortion post-Roe v. Wade, from religious liberty issues to social justice issues, but their critics often suggest they do so selectively, on the basis of political priorities. Whether you're seeing red or feeling blue, join the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy, with our friends at Wisdom of Crowds and our hosts at The Hertog Foundation, for a conversation with Leah Libresco Sargent and Santiago Ramos on these themes, and their implications for the study and practice of depolarization in religious communities more broadly.
