Human Dignity Isn’t Optional

Feat. Gloria Purvis

January 5, 2026 | 54 min.

Gloria Purvis joins Oscar for a powerful dialogue on faith, race, and the Church’s call to uphold human dignity with no qualifiers. When rightly understood scripture demands justice rooted in love not just law. From Southern roots and Catholic School discipline to the Church’s response to racial injustice, Gloria challenges listeners to confront false narratives and reclaim justice and equity rooted in our rich faith.

Gloria Purvis—a renowned Catholic scholar, speaker, and journalist—is the special advisor for Integral Human Development and Dignity at Providence College.
