Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!

We’re joined by Ambassador Francis Rooney, former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, to talk about the new papacy of Pope Leo and the evolving role of the Catholic Church in today’s world. Ambassador Rooney shares personal insights from his 25-year relationship with Pope Leo—formerly Father Bob—highlighting the Pope's experience, character, and potential to reconnect younger generations with faith. The conversation covers the global decline in religious participation, especially in the secular West, and the Church’s challenge in Latin America, where evangelical Christianity is rapidly growing.

Rooney critiques liberation theology’s historic alignment with Marxist ideology and emphasizes the importance of a faith that nurtures individual aspirations and economic progress. He also expresses hope that Pope Leo’s calm, measured demeanor will strengthen the Church’s ability to build bridges, advocate for peace, and support global diplomacy. Rooney’s book The Global Vatican remains a relevant resource on U.S.-Vatican relations.
