To Change the Church: Pope Francis and the Future of Catholicism

Good afternoon, listeners! We’re back with another great podcast this week, as host Richard Aldous speaks with Ross Douthat about his new book, To Change the Church: Pope Francis and the Future of Catholicism.

Ross Douthat is an opinion columnist for The New York Times. In his latest book, published by Simon & Schuster in March, Douthat takes a critical look at the Francis papacy, arguing that the pope’s controversial stewardship of the Church could ultimately lead to a schism.
