The Inner Life

Bishop Michael Martin joins Patrick to Discuss Love for the Papacy * Bishop Michael Martin Gives his thoughts on the new Pope Leo * What is the papacy? * (12:54) What does it mean that the pope is the visible head of the Church? (16:35) Break 1 * Pamela - Experience with Pope John Paul II.  Visited my country (Ecuador). I was a young child. The street was so crowded. I recall him going down the road looking at us with the sweetest look. Gave us his blessing. My dad cried with joy. * (29:28) Fr. Don - I'm a priest in the diocese of Phoenix. in 87, JPII came to the diocese. My sister gave him flowers. Beautiful experience and is part of why I became a priest. (36:18) Break 2 * Tim - One of my dear friends, a deacon, told me a story about not being into any faith. Saw JPII in Chicago and he looked him in the eye and he blessed him. Changed his life and he became a deacon. * (41:24) Margie - I've been praying for years for conversion of my mother. She's 82. Pope Leo has touched her heart. She told me she's considered about being more faithful to the Catholic faith. I gave her a crucifix and miraculous medal. This pope reminds me of my grandfather. * What happens when you say you don’t like this pope or that pope?
