Before accepting the framing that Francis lacked clarity, we should first ask what clarity the church most needs. Francis was profoundly and powerfully clear about mercy, teaching both through word and witness. Thanks be to God. americamagazine.org/faith/2025/04/…

At the end of his life, Pope Francis made one last symbolic gesture: he emptied his personal bank account to donate 200,000 euros to the prisoners he had long championed. ncronline.org/vatican/final-…

As we prepare for a new papacy, what will the church carry forward from Pope Francis’ reimagining of moral theology—a vision thoroughly traditional and courageously new? —Bryan Massingale in America Magazine americamagazine.org/faith/2025/04/…

In a pre-conclave meeting, an Italian cardinal, and backer of Cardinal Parolin as next pope, attacked Pope Francis for opening positions of responsibility in the church to men and women not in holy orders. americamagazine.org/faith/2025/04/…

Some frame this conclave as a choice: progressive pope (again) vs. traditionalist. Is that the right binary? The real question may be whether the church again chooses a pope shaped by religious vows—Francis was the first in 167 years. My America Magazine piece: americamagazine.org/faith/2025/05/…

This was my immediate reaction when we saw the white smoke… and then, by the end of the show, we had a pope. A real before-and-after moment. ♫ 'I am delighted': Pope Leo XIV becomes the first American pope as conclave concludes ♫ iHeartRadio iheart.com/podcast/962-va…
