What kind of Pope does the Church need right now?

In this episode of the Rosary Army Catholic Podcast, Greg and Jennifer reflect on the pontificates of St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis — and share what they’re hoping for in the next successor of Peter. From a renewed love of the Rosary, to a rekindling of the New Evangelization, to a bold embrace of the deep and timeless teachings of the Church, this conversation is both personal and hopeful.

We’re not talking politics. We’re talking prayer, discernment, and trust in the Holy Spirit. And we’re asking the questions many Catholics are quietly wondering.

Crosses in life are inevitable — in marriage, family life, ministry, and even our spiritual growth. How we carry them changes how heavy they are. Diving into Archbishop Fulton Sheen's Cries of Jesus from the Cross, we share what's been going on behind the scenes, including what we've been learning (and struggling with) along the way.

Also:
🔹 Jennifer finishes her first-ever knitting project
🔹 A BIG SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT!
🔹 How Fulton Sheen is shaping Greg’s prayer life
🔹 Why embracing suffering as a couple brings us closer to Jesus

We don’t have everything figured out, but we’re walking through it with you. We’re glad you’re here.

We’ve heard the Beatitudes countless times at Mass or when reading the Bible, but how much do we actually understand them?

In this episode, we wrap up our two-part discussion on Matthew 5 and what the Beatitudes really mean—and honestly, some of these hit harder than we expected.

🔹 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” Are we actually yearning for the right things?

🔹 “Blessed are the merciful…” But what about mercy for ourselves?

🔹 “Blessed are the peacemakers…” Does this mean avoiding conflict, or something more?

If the Beatitudes have ever felt confusing, intimidating, or just out of reach, this episode is for you. When we started looking at them through a different lens, everything changed.
