In an interview with Commonweal last spring, Pope Francis called on Catholics to meet “this time of great uncertainty” with creativity and grace.

On this special end-of-year episode, we’re revisiting four of our favorite conversations with Catholics who’ve inspired us to do just that:

-Susan Bigelow Reynolds on changing parish realities

-Stephen Hough on accepting his own sexuality

-Fr. Bryan Massingale on racism and white supremacy

-Ellen Koneck on the spiritual lives of Gen Z

We hope you’ll enjoy hearing from them again as much as we have.
