Pope Francis has generated headlines worldwide for his unorthodox approach to the papacy, public acts of humility, and renewed emphasis on compassion. He’ll travel to the United States, for the first time, later this month.
Nancy Gibbs, editor of TIME magazine, leads a conversation with:
- Michael Gerson, a nationally syndicated columnist whose writing appears twice weekly in The Washington Post
- Father Matt Malone, president and editor in chief of America Media, which publishes America: The National Catholic Review
- Garry Wills, professor, historian, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author (“Why I Am a Catholic” and “The Future of the Catholic Church with Pope Francis”).
This conversation took place in July at the Aspen Ideas Festival.
