Welcome to the Napa Legal Podcast, where we discuss religious liberty from the perspective of faith-based nonprofits! In this episode, Frank DeVito and Joseph Clement discuss the origins, mission, and identity of Napa Legal, and explain why the government must protect the free exercise of religion and the freedom of individuals and institutions to seek and worship God.
Drawing from Catholic social teaching, natural law, and American history, they examine:
- Humanity’s telos and human nature
- The Catholic understanding of religious liberty
- The history of nonprofits and freely made civil associations in America
- How Napa Legal supports religious organizations and faith-based nonprofits through legal education.
This episode connects theology, philosophy, and law, explaining how religious liberty sustains a free society and why protecting faith-based nonprofits is essential to American civic life.
