Catholic Diocese Of Joliet

Bishop Conlon talks about the College of Cardinals selecting Pope Francis. He says the selection of someone who is not from Europe is an important one since it illustrates that the Church is global. He also talks about the powerful influence of the Jesuits on the life of the Church. He also said the Cardinals made a wise choice in picking the right person for the job, no matter what all the "requirements" that were supposedly talked about prior to the Conclave. What is the Holy Spirit asking of Pope Francis is what Bishop Conlon says in regards to what he hopes the Pope is asking. And then Bishop Conlon said that Lent is a great time to ask: how do we need to change to be a better member of the Church and a better disciples of Christ.
