Pope Leo's longtime friend on what to expect from his papacy

Season 2025 Episode 129 | 6m 48s

Pope Leo XIV delivered his first homily and celebrated his first Mass after being elected leader of the Catholic Church. The new pontiff brings decades of international experience, from serving as a missionary and bishop in Peru to a senior Vatican official in charge of overseeing bishops around the world. Geoff Bennett discussed what shaped Pope Leo’s views and who he is with Rev. Robert Hagan.
