We hear homilies in our moments of greatest joy and deepest sorrow. Share with me and @americamag the best one you’ve ever heard—at a wedding, funeral, and/or ordination. Which one has stayed with you? What made it meaningful—and who preached it?

In the third and final episode of our first-ever “Inside the Vatican” Deep Dive series on Pope Leo XIV, we follow his extraordinary journey—from his early years as pastor and formator in northern Peru to the chair of St. Peter. americamagazine.org/faith/2025/07/…

Over the last two months, the “Inside the Vatican” podcast team has been putting together a three-part deep dive series aimed at answering the question “Who is Leo XIV?” several insights surprised me that I hadn’t seen in much of the coverage of Leo XIV. americamagazine.org/faith/2025/07/…

The Vatican News site published the warning after a 36-minute “deep fake” —A.I.-generated—video of Pope Leo was posted on YouTube. americamagazine.org/faith/2025/05/…

This was my immediate reaction when we saw the white smoke… and then, by the end of the show, we had a pope. A real before-and-after moment. ♫ 'I am delighted': Pope Leo XIV becomes the first American pope as conclave concludes ♫ @iHeartRadio iheart.com/podcast/962-va…

Some frame this conclave as a choice: progressive pope (again) vs. traditionalist. Is that the right binary? The real question may be whether the church again chooses a pope shaped by religious vows—Francis was the first in 167 years. My @americamag piece: americamagazine.org/faith/2025/05/…

In a pre-conclave meeting, an Italian cardinal, and backer of Cardinal Parolin as next pope, attacked Pope Francis for opening positions of responsibility in the church to men and women not in holy orders. americamagazine.org/faith/2025/04/…


As we prepare for a new papacy, what will the church carry forward from Pope Francis’ reimagining of moral theology—a vision thoroughly traditional and courageously new? —Bryan Massingale in @americamag americamagazine.org/faith/2025/04/…
