Read the stories in this episode:
- Catholic leaders in Spain are welcoming a new government plan to regularize the legal status of around 500,000 migrants in the country without authorization, calling it a long-overdue act of social justice.
- Amid recent deadly immigration enforcement operations, Catholics in Minneapolis are wrestling with sorrow, anger, fear and faith as they navigate tensions between federal and local authorities, while continuing to serve their communities.
- The Chesterton Schools Network, a growing consortium of classical Catholic high schools, continues to expand in the U.S. and abroad, tapping what leaders describe as rising parental demand for faithful, rigorous and affordable education.
- During their routine "ad limina apostolorum" -- Latin for "to the threshold of the apostles" -- visit to Rome, Peru's bishops made headlines for an unexpected and personal moment: a surprise lunch visit from Pope Leo XIV, a longtime member of the Peruvian bishops' conference and former bishop of Chiclayo.
- Pope Leo XIV is encouraging the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games to become a sign of unity, solidarity, and peace among peoples and cultures.
