In this insightful episode of the Spe Salvi Institute Podcast, Andrew Petiprin and Robert Mixa welcome Nathan Pinkoski, Senior Fellow at the Center for Renewing America and columnist for Compact Magazine. In this discussion, Pinkoski delves into his recent article, "Pope Francis’s Managerial Revolution", offering a nuanced critique of Pope Francis's papacy.​
Pinkoski explores how Pope Francis embraced a managerial approach to Church governance, characterized by an emphasis on process over doctrine, strategic ambiguity, and a focus on optics and media messaging. He argues that this shift has led to a form of leadership that prioritizes administrative processes and symbolic gestures, potentially at the expense of doctrinal clarity and personal responsibility.​
The conversation examines key themes such as the implementation of synodality, the restructuring of Vatican communications, and the broader implications of managerialism within the Church. Pinkoski provides a critical appreciation of Pope Francis's leadership style, assessing both its intentions and its impact on the Catholic Church's direction in the 21st century.​
