After a two-week hiatus, we’re back! Hosts Jen Mauro and Mike Walsh usher in the new year by welcoming back a Talking Catholic favorite, Father Jason Rocks, Chancellor of the Diocese of Camden.

This week’s episode centers on the life and legacy of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, recorded on the day the retired pope was laid to rest at the Vatican. Father Rocks, who is also pastor of Holy Eucharist Parish, Cherry Hill, talks about the legacy of the late pontiff, his writings, the life of then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, and how this holy and humble servant helped strengthen the Church as a theologian, teacher, and pastor.

During the episode. Fr. Rocks recommended several short reads authored by Pope Benedict’s that offers an insight into his perspective and provides food for thought regarding our faith:
