Listen "The Pope Has Died: What Happens Next in the Church?"

Episode Synopsis

The Pope has died—so what happens next in the Church? In this video, we’ll discuss the transition period within Roman Catholicism, including the mourning process, the role of the College of Cardinals, and the election of the next Pope. I’ll share thoughts on tradition, scripture, and the Church’s ancient connection to biblical prophecy. Together, we’ll unpack how these moments reflect the enduring faith of Catholics and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We’ll also explore the significance of Psalm 22, Jesus’ words on the cross, and how prophecy foretold key events in Christianity. From the unique situation in the Archdiocese of Kansas City to prayers for Pope Francis and the College of Cardinals, there’s a lot to reflect on. Join me as we navigate this pivotal moment in the Church and its rich traditions. Let’s pray, learn, and embrace the hope rooted in our faith.
