On this episode of “Inside the Vatican,” host Colleen Dulle and Vatican correspondent Gerard O’Connell look at how Pope Francis' relationship with grassroots activists differs from past popes’.

Benedict’s longing for heaven, recently hinted at in a letter of condolence, is not to be interpreted as meaning that the former pope “no longer has any desire to live.”

God is more than we can comprehend, and sin limits what we can understand.

“Yet again, we find ourselves faced with the paradox of the Gospel: we are freed by serving, not in doing whatever we want.”

The Buttigieg discourse is about sexuality, class, money, work, fatherhood, legislation. But do you know what has not been talked about at all? The mother.

What Francis has done is to reestablish the priority of Vatican II in our liturgical life. He is saying, essentially, that no one can take an end run around it.
