Stephen F. Schneck

And, you know, to see that he was just recently appointed to the International Religious Liberty Commission, you know, bravo.

Our guest from last episode, Steve Schneck, was also on that commission in the Biden administration, and it's good to have Catholic voices in such an important committee.

But it does start to look like throwing his hat in with right-wingers has led to a number of opportunities for Bishop Barron, and that's concerning to me.

I want to pick up on that and this idea of opportunities because just recently Bishop Barron came out with a new book entitled What Do Their Deaths Demand? Christian Persecution Today.

Please stay with us.

Welcome back to The Francis Effect.

I'm Heidi Schlumpf with today's guest, Edward Hanenberg, a professor of systematic theology at John Carroll University.

His areas of expertise include the Second Vatican Council and theologies of ministry and of the Church.
