Pope Leo's election garnered far more interest than usual. We are in a time of great change. People are paying attention. The Pope shapes public opinion, and people are eager to know what Pope Leo might say.
I asked Peter all the most provocative political questions I could imagine. What might the Pope think about resource development, immigration, pluralism, and social equality. Peter offered answers I haven't found elsewhere.
I hope you enjoy the conversation!
