Carolina Catholic - July 25

Carolina Catholic learns about Pope Leo XIV from EWTN's Vice President, Dr. Matthew Bunson in his book, Leo XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope

For our first show in July, we get the incredible opportunity to chat about the first biography in English on our new pope called Leo XIV: Portrait of the First American Pope! Written in the two weeks between Pope Leo's election on May 8th and its publication, this amazingly detailed biography is a joy to read and contains so much information about the man just elected our 267th pontiff. In this book that Dr. Bunson calls a "portrait," we learn about the pope's childhood in the suburb of Chicago, his beautiful family and its history, his lifelong love of the priesthood, his years in Rome and Peru, and his Augustinian spirituality. From stories of him riding donkeys or horses to meet with his flock, to the reasons he took the name, Leo, to the meaning of his beautiful Papal Motto, In Illo unum uno (In the One, we are one), this book gives us a compelling narrative of Pope Leo's life, beliefs, and journey to the papacy. Dr. Bunson is well-known as a papal authority having written award winning books on the papacy, the history of our Church, and the saints.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of July.
