Dead Man Walking: The Prequel December 10, 2021
We talk to Sister Helen Prejean, whose memoir, Dead Man Walking, was the inspiration for the hit movie of the same name. Her 2019 book, River of Fire, chronicles the spiritual journey that led her to become perhaps the world's best-known advocate for the abolition of the death penalty. We hear her take on women in the Roman Catholic Church today, and how they're faring with Pope Francis at the helm. She also offers us her prescription for hope in chaotic times.
