We Have a New Pope—and He’s Got Aura! 🇻🇦✨

Fr. Simon and Fr. Tristan return from Italy with powerful stories and fresh insights! In this episode, they reflect on attending Pope Francis’s funeral and leading a pilgrimage to Rome. Fr. Simon shares what it was like to be in St. Peter’s Square during the election of the new pope—highlighting the mystery of the process and the dangers of speculation and gossip.

Fr. Tristan tries to explain Italian AI brainrot to a skeptical Fr. Andy (you’ve got to hear this one), and the conversation turns toward deep themes: the role of humility and selflessness in Church leadership, and how to balance mountaintop spiritual experiences with everyday faith.

PLUS: We’re launching a new weekly segment where we react to the addresses and homilies of Pope Leo XIV—don’t miss it!
