Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

We’re joined by Father Bill Nicholas from Corpus Christi Church in Evansville, Indiana to discuss the somber timing of the pope’s death—just one day after Easter Sunday—and draws a poignant connection to the death of Pope John Paul II, who also passed during the Easter season. He shares how Pope Francis, despite serious health struggles, remained committed to his role, offering a final Easter blessing from the Vatican.

Father Bill explains the temporary liturgical changes during Mass, such as omitting the pope’s name in prayers until a new leader is elected. He acknowledges Pope Francis’ legacy as a compassionate yet faithful leader who challenged both sides of the Church. The segment closes with a moving blessing, uniting listeners in reflection, gratitude, and hope during this historic moment in the Church.
