About this listen

Greg Smith reflects on the joyful inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, unpacking its rituals, from the emotional moment Leo received the Fisherman’s Ring to the inclusive rite of obedience. He answers why the ceremony is grand yet humble, why it’s called the Mass for the Petrine Ministry, and how Leo’s Chicago-to-Peru journey shapes his universal call. Greg reveals the Catholic Church as the Roman Empire transformed, where Peter’s bones and Michelangelo’s dome proclaim Christ’s victory. With world leaders and Eastern patriarchs gathered, this episode explores a mature faith uniting two hemispheres, one Church.
