And we're live. Welcome back to Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh. Thank you for joining us today.

We were praying a live rosary on Monday. A lot of us traveling for Easter, but of course, all we

have been able to think about is the passing of Pope Francis. And I think the value I'd hope we can

provide here as Catholics for this episode, for those maybe who have never tuned in before.

I want to go over the legacy,

the true legacy of, as many were calling the outsider Pope. How did it feel for Catholics?

What did it mean for the world? And then I think in the next part of this, it's time to start.

Of course, the discussions were selecting a new Pope. So where should everyone's head be at in terms

of that process? What does that process look like?

And hopefully we just give full coverage of this event from a uniquely Catholic perspective.

I think I've already seen a lot of major news outlets really butcher. I think Michael Nullis said that Pope Francis really does not fit into the modern conception of left and right, especially for a very

pre-modern institution like the Catholic Church.

So that's what we're hoping to get to today.

I got Eric and Josh.

Josh is this is an away game for you today.

I hear you're in Minnesota, right?

That's correct.

Lots of driving these days.

Yes, lots of driving.

Okay.

So before we get into all that, we have to talk about our favorite sponsor, Charity Mobile, Charity Mobile, Pro Life, Pro Life, Pro Life, ProFamily Phone Company.
