Pope Leo XIV: The First 100 Days – Reflections with Fr. Jason Rocks
Talking Catholic
In this episode of Talking Catholic, hosts Mike Walsh and Jen Mauro sit down with Fr. Jason Rocks, Chancellor of the Diocese of Camden, to look back at the first 100 days of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate. From his calm, unifying tone and revival of beloved papal traditions to his bold engagement with modern issues like artificial intelligence, Pope Leo XIV has set a distinctive course for the Church and the world. Fr. Rocks shares insights on the pope’s pastoral style, his embrace of pilgrims, his theological grounding in St. Augustine, and the moments—both quiet and bold—that are shaping this new papacy. Listen in for a thoughtful conversation that blends faith, leadership, and the unique perspective of someone closely following the Vatican’s early days under Pope Leo XIV.
