My name is Kevin Karam and I am a Jesuit Scholastic of the US Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus, Baptized in the Maronite Catholic Rite.

I hope to make the Encyclicals of the Popes more accessible to Catholics and non-Catholics, and dispel some of the misunderstandings that are usually the result of relying on regional political worldviews. Standing above as a both a critic and a guide of society writ-large, Catholicism and Catholic thought points us to something beyond our day-to-day political milieu. Artistically speaking, sometimes a little inflection and vocal interpretation behind the written word can help bring out meaning more than simply reading or listening to an AI manufactured recording. Please enjoy the recordings.

Go in peace and pray to Christ for me.

Encyclicals

Hey y'all. I did not meet my personal deadline to complete Magnifica Humanitas. I'll have it finished next week.
In the meantime, please find a Vatican Produced Audio Recording of the full Encyclical: www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2026-06/audiobook-…

I'll be on my 8-Day retreat starting tonight. Please pray for me. Post below any intentions you'd like me bring before our Lord during this time of grand silence.

Go in Peace, and Pray to Christ for me.
