George Weigel: The State of the Church and the Next Pope

As we continue to pray for Pope Francis, we also begin to look forward to the upcoming conclave, and who better to join Mark Brumley than George Weigel, author of The Next Pope. In this episode, Brumley and Weigel reflect on the current state of the Church both in the United States and around the world. They discuss the continued needs of the New Evangelization and missionary discipleship as well as a list of issues the next pope needs to address in his upcoming papacy.
