#139 - Yes, the Conclave is an Antiquated Process, and That's a Good Thing

Why Catholic?

About this episode

Is the Conclave “antiquated,” and is it time for the Catholic Church to “get with the times?” Justin Hibbard explores why the Conclave has evolved to what it is today and why the Catholic Church isn’t eager to have election processes that mimic the elections of democratic nations.
