Cardinal Blase Cupich reflects on Pope Leo’s first year in papacy, emphasizes peace and empathy

Friday will mark one year since an Illinois man — Robert Francis Prevost — was elected Bishop of Rome. Cardinal Blaise Cupich is the archbishop of Chicago. He is the senior leader of the Catholic Church in Illinois, where an estimated three million people are part of that faith tradition.

He joins the program to discuss Pope Leo's first year at the Vatican, how it feels for Illinoisans and Americans to see a pope speaking their language in a familiar accent, as well as how the pope has handled political issues specifically in regard to war.
