Ep. 282: Pope Francis' Legacy

Steve sits down with Julie Boerio-Goates and Dr. Brandon Peterson to chat about the legacy of Pope Francis, including his journey from Jorge of Argentina to the Bishop of Rome. Dr. Julianna Boerio-Goates was our very first guest on Episode 1 and returned to help lead a discussion on Henri Nouwen’t book “Spiritual Direction” in our book club Episode 229. Julie is a retired professor of thermo dynamics. Julie discusses the intersection of science and faith, navigating a mixed-faith marriage, and what keeps her connected to God in her everyday life and in her service to her Catholic parish. Dr. Brandon Peterson is also a returning guest—he was most recently on our Holy Week series talking about the meaning and observance of Good Friday. Brandon is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Utah in the Department of of World Languages & Cultures and an adjunct in the Department of Philosopy. Brandon is also a parishioner at The Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City.
