Politics of the Papacy: Was the First American Pope Chosen to Counter Trump?

Politics of the Papacy: Was the First American Pope Chosen to Counter Trump?

In the wake of the historic election of Pope Leo XIV—the first American pope—Michael Smerconish speaks with veteran catholic commentator and journalist Rocco Palmo about the political and spiritual dimensions of this surprising choice. Was Cardinal Robert Prevost’s ascension a subtle rebuke to Donald Trump? How did his social media history, global experience, and American identity shape the College of Cardinals’ decision? Michael and Rocco dive deep into the papal election, Catholic politics, and what to expect from the new pontiff on the world stage. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
