We are not contradicting Catholic doctrine in looking, with Pope Francis, to the full range of issues affected by our vote.

This week on “Inside the Vatican,” hosts Colleen Dulle and Gerard O’Connell discuss U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s visit to the Vatican and Cardinal Angelo Becciu's sudden resignation.
