Welcome to the Theology & Ethics podcast! In this episode, the KC team (and guest Dr. Ed Echeverria) discuss the new Pope Leo XIV, where he came from, and whether he will carry on the legacy of Pope Francis or carve a new path.

Eduardo J. Echeverria is Professor of Philosophy and Systematic Theology in the Graduate School of Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, the Archdiocesan seminary of Detroit, where he has taught for thirteen years. He is also a Research Fellow in the Theology Faculty of the University of the Free State, South Africa.
