Pope Leo XIV's First Month  

Pope Leo XIV's First Month  

Author: EWTN June 7, 2025 Duration: 55:59
As we mark one month since Pope Leo XIV's election, we look at how he's already sought out unity for both our divided world and divided Church. Ross Douthat, The New York Times opinion columnist and author of "Believe", shares his impressions of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV so far - and how he might inspire a revival of Catholicism in America. Catholics journeying on the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage's St. Katharine Drexel route were able to follow in the U.S.-born saint's footsteps in Kansas - Alan Holdren takes us there. EWTN's Fr. Joseph Mary Wolfe returned to his home state of Iowa to travel with Our Lord in the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage - he tells us what the faithful in America's heartland can offer us all. Plus, Colm Flynn reports on The Jubilee of Families, Children, Grandparents, and the Elderly at the Vatican - and gives us an inside-look as to what it's like to attend a Jubilee in the Eternal City.

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.

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.
