'Jubilee Year of Hope' Midway Point - Special Edition

Author: EWTN May 31, 2025 Duration: 52:43
In this special edition of EWTN News In Depth, we examine the midway point of the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025, which is already proving to be a historic jubilee year. EWTN News Correspondent Colm Flynn looks at the sights and sounds in Rome so far as millions have traveled to the Eternal City - and Founding EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief Joan Lewis shares her perspective of a jubilee year that's included an unexpected papal funeral and conclave. Mark Irons examines Pope Francis' legacy of mercy and hope on Jubilee Year 2025. Though postponed beyond the original Jubilee of Teenagers date, National Catholic Register contributer Sabrina Ferrisi tells us when we might expect Blessed Carlo Acutis' canonization to be rescheduled. Roselle Reyes travels alongside a group of Catholic faithful making a local pilgrimage journey in their own archdiocese this jubilee year. And Dr. Edward Sri explains how the faithful can gain a plenary indulgence during the jubilee by diving into the Catholic Catechism.

Each week, EWTN News in Depth dedicates an hour to thoughtful conversation that goes beyond the headlines, examining the intersection of faith and daily life. Host Catherine Hadro guides these discussions, which are rooted in a Catholic worldview and address the stories that often don't get enough attention in the wider media cycle. The focus here is on providing clarity and context, whether the topic is a developing situation within the Church, a political debate with moral dimensions, or a cultural trend impacting communities. This isn't just about analysis from experts, though you'll hear that too; it's about connecting Church teaching to the practical questions and concerns of everyday believers. Tuning into this podcast means moving past soundbites to understand the deeper principles at play. The conversations aim to inform and equip the laity, offering a reliable perspective on complex issues. For those seeking a substantive, weekly engagement with current events through the lens of faith, EWTN News in Depth provides a consistent and thoughtful resource. It’s a space where the news is unpacked with both intelligence and a clear sense of what matters most to a living tradition.
