When Pope Francis passed away in April 2025, Catholic media entered an intense and emotional season of reporting. Among those on the ground in Rome was Gretchen R. Crowe, Editor-in-Chief of OSV News and a Catholic mom of three. In this episode, Katie McGrady talks with Gretchen about the whirlwind of covering a papal funeral, the interregnum, and the election of Pope Leo, all while navigating the personal cost of being away from her family.
