Justice, Mercy, and the Laws of the Church | Dr. Susan Mulheron

She’s met two Popes. She sometimes plays “judge” for the Catholic Church. And she’s the first lay alum we’ve interviewed in this series. In this episode, Dr. Susan Mulheron—Chancellor for Canonical Affairs in the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis—shares what it’s really like to serve as a canon lawyer in the Church. Canon law might sound dry at first, but Susan makes it anything but boring. She and David dive into: What it means to balance justice and mercy Why canon law is more about people than rules The surprising ways her work touches everyday Catholic life Her encounters with Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV This is a fascinating look into a ministry most of us don’t think about but deeply shapes the life of the Church. Watch, share, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
