Pope Leo and the People's Conclave: A New Era Begins

Rome was buzzing this past weekend as something monumental unfolded: the selection of a new pope. And not just any pope. For the first time in history, the Roman Catholic Church has elected an American pontiff: Pope Leo XIV. I chatted with journalist Eric Lyman, a seasoned veteran of three papal elections—to discuss what made this conclave so unique, what led to Cardinal Robert Prevost's surprise selection, and what kind of leadership Pope Leo might bring to a divided global Church. We touched on questions like "where will he live?", what REALLY went on in the Sistine Chapel leading up to the May 8th white smoke, and much more. Listen in for this insider's chat all about the momentous 2025 Conclave and Pope Leo.
