Ep. 260 Mary Ann Glendon on Being a 'Voice for the Voiceless' & Sneak Peek of 'Irena's Vow'

Conversations with Consequences

With a new book exploring her vast experience within the Vatican, former ambassador to the Holy See Mary Ann Glendon shares insights about her time serving under 3 pontificates beginning with John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis. "In the Courts of Three Popes" discusses the role of women as it has evolved within the church, the task of being 'a voice for the voiceless,' and "what are we, the laity, doing to live up to the vocation to be a transformative presence in the secular sphere where we live and work?" We also hear about a new movie called Irena's Vow--showcasing the amazing devotion of a Catholic nurse as she worked to save Polish Jews during the Holocaust. We talk with her actual daughter Jeannie Smith about her mother's inspiring story. Father Roger Landry also offers an inspiring homily as we continue through this Easter season! Catch the show every Saturday at 5pmET on EWTN radio!
