Radio Interview: Wrapping up 2025 with Archbishop Lori

With the death of Pope Francis and the conclave to elect Pope Leo XIV, it’s an understatement to say that 2025 was a busy year for the church. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty sat down for an extensive conversation with Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori about the papal transition and issues of concern to the local church. The archbishop talked about good news on the vocations front, the impact of Seek the City changes on parishes and the upcoming fifth anniversary of the Institute for Evangelism in the archdiocese. He also focused on the pain experienced by victim-survivors of clergy sexual abuse and the negotiations underway in the archdiocese’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
