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, Mark and George 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.

Special Edition of the IP Podcast: Reflecting on the Life and Works of Pope Francis
On Monday April 21, Pope Francis passed away. As the Church mourns his passing and prays for the repose of his soul, we begin to reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis.
So, in this special edition of the Ignatius Press Podcast, Ben Eriksen sits down with Mark Brumely to discuss the life and works of Pope Francis. Mark begins by highlighting three lessons that we can learn from Pope Francis before explaining why he believes Pope Francis will likely be the last pope of Vatican II. He also argues to what degree a pope should be involved in politics and how we can best foster Christian unity as we look forward to a papal conclave. Mark’s balanced perspective on these topics is a welcome sight in these turbulent times.

Fr. Fessio Reflects on the Life and Legacy of His Teacher Pope Benedict XVI
This week we not only celebrate Pope Benedict XVI’s birthday, but it is also the 20th anniversary of his election. Join Fr. Fessio as he gives a rare glimpse into the writings and teaching methods of a Pope who he believes will one day be declared a saint and doctor of the Church.
Fr. Fessio and Mark Brumley not only remember Cardinal Ratzinger’s election, but they discuss his role in writing the Catechism and directing the Church in the 21st century. Finally, they reflect on the mission of Ignatius Press, which is largely informed by Pope Benedict, and they speculate on what the future may hold for the Church in the coming years.

Sr. Orianne: Meet One of the Readers for Hallow’s Pray40 Challenge
We are halfway through Lent, and for many of us, that means we are midway through Hallow’s Pray40 Challenge. Today, Ben Eriksen joins Sr. Orianne Pietra René, who reads the passages for “A Song for Nagasaki” in the French version of Hallow’s Pray40 Challenge. Sr. Orianne not only gives us a behind-the-scenes look at recording for Hallow, but she also provides insights into the life of Takashi Nagai and his wife, Midori.
Because Takashi’s story is told elsewhere, Sr. Orianne and Ben reflect on the impact that this story has had on their personal lives, and how Takashi is a model for Catholics struggling with the problem of evil and suffering. Both marvel at how relevant Takashi and Midori are for us today.
For those who love Hallow’s Pray40 challenge or are interested in the life of Takashi and Midori, this episode is for you!
