Excellent interview! My wife and I were very impressed with this segment. The questions asked and the responses of the author brought fresh insight to the personality of our new
pope. What a blessings it is to have a podcast like this. Bravo and keep up the good work Colleen and Gerry!!!
I enjoy your balanced insights and good reporting. Getting behind Pope Francis who has moved the dial in a much needed positive direction for the church. I look forward to listening as Pope Leo asserts his papacy.
