Criteria: The Catholic Film PodcastThe Mission (1986) w/ Gerald RusselloIt's remarkable that as recently as 1986, we had a hit movie, with A-list stars (Jeremy Irons, Robert De Niro) and an A-list composer (Ennio Morricone), that takes a nuanced look at a controversial historical subject, European Christian missionary activity.

The Hauenstein Center Collection#79: Gerald Russello on The University Bookman and Conservative MagazinesThis week, we hear from Gerald Russello, editor of The University Bookman, a publication founded in 1960 by the traditionalist conservative Russell Kirk.
