Rev. Paul Nicholson, S.J., begins his homily for the Ascension with a striking image from Medieval art: Jesus’ feet dangling in the air, his body swallowed by clouds.

This week on “Jesuitical,” Zac and Ashley chat with Mark Francis, C.S.V., who attended Catholic Theological Union with Leo XIV (then known as Bob Prevost), about the unique education that shaped the future pope.

A week into the papacy of Pope Leo XIV—the first U.S.-born pope—hosts Colleen Dulle and Gerard O’Connell take stock of the emerging contours and dimensions of his leadership.

Preaching for the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year C, Fr. Bill Gabriel, O.S.A., finds resonance in his homily between the risen Christ’s parting words—“Peace be with you”—and Pope Leo XIV’s call for “an unarmed and disarming peace.”

Greg Heille, O.P., joins “Preach” host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., to reflect on the homiletic legacy of Pope Francis: always on message, spoken from the heart, simple without losing depth.

A meeting with the College of Cardinals, a visit to Pope Francis’ tomb and an address to the media: Gerry, Sebastian and Ashley unpack it all on the final episode of the Conclave Podcast.
