In this episode of political saints, Andrew Willard Jones, author of "Before Church and State", discusses the life of King St. Louis IX. Dr. Jones shows how Louis fulfilled his role as king within his role as laity. Instead of the modern way of viewing Church and State as in tension with one another, King Louis saw himself as a lay member of the Church sanctifying the temporal order.
