In lieu of Pope Francis’ worsening health, and the speculation surrounding his eventual successor, some suggest the Pope’s sister may play a critical role in end-of-life decisions rather than leaving them in the hands of Vatican officials. This is based on no recent photographs of the Pope, and his sister suddenly arriving in Rome after years of absence. The conversation shifts to the upcoming conclave, with concerns about the election process being manipulated to ensure a successor who continues Francis’ controversial policies. Bishop Strickland and other faithful leaders have stressed that electing a heretic would be catastrophic for the Church.
The episode also covers escalating global tensions, particularly the rapid shift in perception regarding Ukraine’s President Zelensky.

Meanwhile, the UK’s shocking announcement of potential troop deployments raises fears of direct military confrontation with Russia.
