US Bishops, Trump and Pope Francis/ Groundwork of a New Administration

The U.S. bishops have just concluded their annual fall assembly in Baltimore where Synod on Synodality and the US elections gave the bishops much to talk about. The Register’s editor in chief Shannon Mullen and senior editor Jonathan Liedl bring us a recap of important takeaways. Then, we turn to again to teasing out the 2024 election results. This time we talk about how President-elect Trump is already laying the groundwork for his administration as the Democrats grapple with big losses.

What 2024 Election Results Mean for Catholics and the Country

The 2024 election has concluded and, while there are a few Congressional races where votes are still being counted, the results proved decisive. President Donald Trump will be returning to the White House with a major victory over Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris. He returns to Washington with Republicans claiming control over the US Senate and looking very much like they will also retain control of the House of Representative. With Register editor in chief Shannon Mullen, staff writer Peter Laffin, and EWTN News' senior Vatican analyst Frank Rocca we look at the election, what it means for Catholics and the country.

Pope Francis Returns to the Vatican

Pope Francis returned to the Vatican last Sunday and is expected now to face two months of rest and recovery. Is this a new phase in his pontificate? This week on Register Radio, we talk to Frank Rocca, EWTN News Senior Vatican Analyst. And, as we move closer to Holy Week, the Register has taken a long look at the “Art of Holy Week.” We are joined by Dominican Sister Mary Madeline Todd from Aquinas College and a contributor to our coverage.
