  • Just listened to the Zucarelli interview- no hubris there! Overwhelmed by the humility... I think he's definitely the next pope. Maybe Francis should just resign and turn it over now - that would please our future pope, I'm sure.

    This is a good podcast expounding Catholic topics and viewpoints, in a good faith manner. Suitable for thinking students of religion.
