Pope Leo XIV's Second Week

Author: EWTN May 24, 2025 Duration: 57:59
As Pope Leo XIV vows to take "every effort" to work for global peace — will the Vatican soon be hosting Russia-Ukraine peace talks? Correspondent Colm Flynn reports from Rome on Pope Leo XIV's full second week and senior Vatican correspondent for Catholic News Agency, Hannah Brockhaus, tells us what we know for certain about the Holy Father's peace efforts. The 2025 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage has begun the cross-country journey with the Blessed Sacrament - our Mark Irons brings us to Indianapolis for the kickoff event. Pope Leo XIV is framing the response to artificial intelligence as a critical mission for his papacy - bioethics professor and priest, Fr. Michael Baggot, L.C., explains what's at stake. And Our Holy Father stunned the faithful with his singing - and now you can join in. We speak with the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music's Fr. Robert Melhart, O.P.  to hear more about his "Let's Sing with the Pope" initiative.

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.
