Rocco Buttiglione: A Life Among Popes, Saints, and Politicians

In this podcast, Reuben Slife interviews Rocco Buttiglione about his life and work. Buttiglione was promised by Luigi Guissani, the founder of Communion and Liberation, that a Christian life will never be boring; taking this wager, he discusses his studies with Augusto Del Noce, his early encounters in Poland with Karol Wojtyła, his appointment to the European Union and time as Italian Minister of European Affairs, and the beginning of his friendship with Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Argentina. Rocco Buttiglione's new book "Modernity's Alternative" is now available from New Polity Press: https://newpolity.com/books-in-invent...
