Manage episode 422854034 series 3313722
"When you ask people who knew him to describe him, the first word out of their mouth is 'brilliant.' We throw that word around a lot but he was literally brilliant. The thing that made him so incredible was that scholars could talk to him about ancient languages but someone like me could talk to him about bass fishing and Nascar," said Karen Hall a television writer and producer of hit shows like M*A*S*H, Hillstreet Blues, Moonlighting and The Good Wife about conservative Jesuit biblical scholar Fr. Paul Mankowski, SJ, who died in September 2020. Hall's new book, The Sound of Silence: The Life and Cancelling of a Heroic Jesuit Priest, exposes the silencing of Fr. Mankowski by his religious order for airing its dirty laundry and for upholding the two-thousand-year magisterium of the Catholic Church. With the same page-turning prose that brought her singular Hollywood success, Hall reveals how Fr. Mankowski was “canceled” long before the dawn of today’s pervasive Cancel Culture took root.
