Pope Francis Talks!

Over the coming weeks, Anthony will be periodically uploading talks to the parish website about Pope Francis and the unique way he has guided the Catholic Church over these last several years. Anthony taught a course to undergraduates on Pope Francis at the University of Dayton and these talks will be modeled after those classes. Topics will include Francis's focus on evangelization, on the environment, and on consumerism. But he'll also talk about his take on love and sexuality, as well as those issues that have made some Catholics deeply uncomfortable with Francis. We'll talk about lots of stuff! Feel free to download and listen at your convenience. You do not need to tune in live!
