The Catholic Tradition Podcast: 193

Mar 28, 2025

Mimetic need, scapegoating: if you happen to’ve been listening to these phrases
thrown round these days, it is as a result of the French Catholic thinker
René Girard (1923-2015) is having a renaissance, with highly effective
folks like J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel citing his affect on
their thought. Trevor Cribben Merrill, producer of the brand new
documentary Issues Hidden: The Life and Legacy of René
Girard, joins the podcast to debate Girard’s principal concepts,
and replicate on elements of his thought which appear tough to
reconcile with Catholic doctrine.
