C&SI - Habemus Papum!! - S05 E24b - podcast excerpt

Well! Have you caught your breath yet with the speed of events? White smoke on Thursday evening around 5pm Irish time with the presentation of the new Holy Father Pope Leo XIV to the faithful about an hour later. We have a brief chat about what we know so far about the new Holy Father and share some thoughts and a little bit of C&SI speculation as to the days ahead.

One thing for listeners is to have good, reliable sources of news information and here on C&SI when it comes to things Papal at the moment we have three solid recommendations:

• Vatican News (hear it from the horses mouth!
• The Pillar - the team have done an amazing job of covering the last few weeks, brilliant coverage, loads of digestible information with a solid Catholic understanding of what is going on. 
• CruxNow - John Allen and Co provide excellent coverage and analysis as always.

One article which caught our eye is the reportage from a press conference given by the American Cardinals - have a look and see what you think.
