Yom HaShoah, Pope Francis's Legacy, and the Next Pope from Jerusalem?
From April 28, 2025
On the heels of Holocaust Remembrance Day and ahead of Yom HaZikaron and Independence Day, the hosts examine the painful overlap of national mourning and celebration during wartime. They offer a nuanced assessment of Pope Francis's complicated record on Israel and Jews—from denouncing antisemitism to criticizing the IDF without naming Hamas. The episode explores whether Cardinal Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, could become the next pope.
