What's next for Plenary Matters?

25 minutes

After almost four years, at home and in Rome, Plenary Matters is packing up...and preparing for a new venture!

Following her coverage of the funeral of Pope Francis and the conclave that elected Pope Leo, Geraldine reflects on Australia's plenary council, the world synod and what's still to come. And Julie has recorded it all in a book about to be launched along with a new podcast, which we can finally announce!

Recommendations:

Geraldine's Eureka Street article, ABC interview with Vatican foreign minister Paul Gallagher, and Compass episode on the conclave

Mark O'Connor, 'What might we expect from Pope Leo?'

Michael Sean Winters on the synod implementation document

Time's 'The Making of an American Pope'

Mauricio Lopez speaking in Sydney on 23 July and with Geraldine in Melbourne on 30 July, along with the book launch of Reasons for Hope: Hélder Câmara, Global Catholicism and the Australian Church
