Inside the Conclave: The 60-Year Fight Over the Church’s Vision (#330)

from Considering Catholicism · host Greg Smith

Greg dives into the Vatican politics shaping the 2025 papal conclave, revealing a 60-year fight for the Church’s soul between the Concilium and Communio visions born after Vatican II. While Concilium’s openness to modern culture has often aligned with Western leftist ideals, Communio champions timeless tradition, and these dueling perspectives will divide the cardinals choosing the next pope. Far from American left-right divides, this struggle defines the conclave’s stakes, offering insight into what’s next for the Church.   Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!
