NCR senior correspondent Heidi Schlumpf is part of the new season of "The Francis Effect" podcast, joining co-hosts Franciscan Fr. Daniel Horan (columnist for NCR) and David Dault, executive producer and host of "Things Not Seen: Conversations About Culture and Faith."
Following the Super Bowl, Heidi, Father Daniel and David weigh in on the "He Gets Us" and "Hallow" ads, including funding and impact. They discuss how Pope Francis and cardinals met with three women (an Anglican bishop, a consecrated virgin and a Salesian sister) to discuss women's role in the church; they also talk about Archbishop Scicluna's comments on priestly celibacy.
Later, Heidi interviews author Servants of Mary Sr. Joyce Rupp about approaching Lent with fresh eyes.
