Show Notes

In his travels, George Weigel has found that the perspective of American bishops in other countries is often far from reality. Friends will ask him why the bishops are so deeply divided, or why they disliked Pope Francis so much. With Pope Leo’s emphasis on unity, one would hope that such misconceptions will lessen. George joins us with more, and also discusses the latest developments with the German bishops.
