Podcast: Richard Rohr on Pope Francis, original sin and giving up nothing for Lent

JesuiticalFebruary 19, 2021

This week’s guest hardly needs an introduction. Father Richard Rohr is a Franciscan priest, the author of several well-known books on spirituality, including his latest The Universal Christ, and the founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation in New Mexico. In this wide-ranging interview, we talk to Father Richard about Pope Francis, how we should think about original sin and why we don’t need to give anything up this Lent (except maybe our ego).

We wanted to give this conversation plenty of space (you’ll understand why when you listen), so no Signs of the Times this week.

“I’m glad that there are people still coming through,” Zomi leader Francis Kham says, but refugee resettlement “should be extended to everyone that’s really [facing] the same discrimination.”
