#146 The Conclave and The New Pope with Father Justin Raines

from Catholic Moms in the Middle · host Jennie Guinn

Have you ever wondered what really happens inside the Sistine Chapel when the Church selects a new Pope? With the whole world watching and Catholics everywhere praying, now is the perfect time to explore the mystery, meaning, and beauty behind the papal conclave. In this special episode, I’m joined by Father Justin Raines, pastor of St. Matthew in Franklin, TN—who was actually in Rome when Pope Francis was elected! Together, we pull back the veil on: What really happens behind closed doors (including what “conclave” actually means), The deep spiritual preparation of the Cardinals, The powerful symbolism of white smoke, the Sistine Chapel, and the “Room of Tears,” How the Holy Spirit guides the Church—and how you can pray during this sacred moment. Whether you're a mom in car line, folding laundry, or carving out some quiet time, this episode will help you feel more connected to the heart of the Church and the global Catholic family. ✨ Grab your rosary and a cup of coffee—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic life coach, podcaster, and radio show host who walks with women facing life’s unexpected turns. She helps them encounter the Father’s love, be transformed by the Holy Spirit, and find healing from pain and disappointment so they can magnify Christ with their lives. Through faith-filled coaching and heartfelt conversations, Jennie empowers women to rediscover hope and to live life with purpose and joy.
