It's been a year since our last visit with Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik and in that time we've marked the one-year anniversary of Pope Francis. Bishop Zubik is back to talk with us about issues pertaining to the Church, specifically in Pittsburgh, and address concerns some Catholics have about changes they'd like to see.
Voices of the Church
You'll also hear from Sister Margaret “Peg” Markey and Sister Nancy Langhart of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God in Whitehall, as they share their thoughts on Pope Francis’ leadership and their hopes for a more progressive Church.
