With mounting anticipation around the upcoming conclave, the college of cardinals meet at the Vatican ahead of electing the next pontiff. Dr. Matthew Bunson breaks down the history of a conclave – and Monsignor Roger Landry expands on the dynamics happening among the cardinals. Curtis Martin, FOCUS founder and consultor to the Dicastery of the New Evangelization, previews the challenges and opportunities the next pope will have in spreading the Catholic faith to the culture. As we continue to mourn the loss of Pope Francis, Colm Flynn takes us to Argentina to get the story behind the famous subway photo of then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Tens of thousands of teenagers traveled to Rome last weekend to attend the Canonization Mass of Blessed Carlo Acutis, but ended up attending Pope Francis’ funeral Mass instead– Montse Alvarado reports.
