Episode 15: "Chesterton and Leo XII"

from Speaking about Chesterton · host readinggkchesterton

Today's podcast is the first of a series of two, entitled "Chesterton and the Two Leos." The Leos in question are Pope Leo XIII (who was pope from 1878 to 1903) and Pope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost, originally from Chicago and then a missionary in Peru, who was elected pope earlier this year and who will be with us, we hope, for many years to come).    In today’s episode Gloria Garafulich-Grabois and professor Dermot Quinn will speak about Chesterton and Pope Leo XIII. What did Chesterton make of Pope Leo XIII and what would he have made of Pope Leo XIV? That's the question we'll explore in the next two conversations.
