New World Pope: Pope Francis & The Future Of The Church

New World Pope: Pope Francis & The Future Of The Church

The conference "New World Pope: Pope Francis & The Future of the Church" used the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the election of the first Pope from the global South to reflect upon Pope Francis himself and what his election means for the Church. Conference speakers came from Europe, South America, and the U.S. to explore various aspects of Pope Francis’ thought, his pastoral style, his history, his election, and the challenges that face his papacy. Our own Fr. Peter Bernardi gave a plenary address at the conference titled "Pope Francis and Ignatian Discernment." To view the video of Fr. Bernardi's address, please select the link below.
