Can You Be Both Jewish and Catholic? w/ Dr. Angela Costley

It seems like an odd question to ask: can you be Jewish and Catholic? Don't you have to pick one? Well, join us as Christina Sabo has a conversation with Dr. Angela Costley, a second-generation Hebrew Catholic and theologian. The two discuss her groundbreaking book, From Sinai to Rome where Dr. Costley explores the continuity between Jewish identity and Catholic faith.

Dr. Costley is a Hebrew Catholic theologian, a graduate of Oxford, and she completed her PhD at the St Patrick’s Pontifical University. A board member of the Association of Hebrew Catholics, she is committed to deepening the Church’s awareness of its Jewish dimension and securing recognition for the unique spirituality of Hebrew Catholics.
