Furthermore with Amanda Head
Pope Leo XIV: The American Revolution that just hit the Vatican
On this episode of the podcast, Dr. Chad Pecknold, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at the Catholic University of America, joined host Amanda Head to unpack the historic election of Pope Leo XIV — the first American pontiff.
Dr. Pecknold reflects on the swift conclave, shaped by strong pre-existing relationships among cardinals, and explores the significance behind the Pope’s traditional name choice, signaling a departure from the Francis era.
Furthermore, this conversation broadens to examine the rising influence of African Catholicism and the growing conservative momentum among younger believers. Dr. Pecknold encourages Christians to live out their faith boldly in the public square.
