And Will He Get There?  A liturgy at 4:00 PM will precede Dr. Bellitto’s talk.

In an effort to keep up with a fast-paced papacy in these tumultuous times, Dr. Bellitto will address such questions as:

• Who is Pope Francis?

• Why is everyone (not just Catholics) paying attention to the first Latin American and first Jesuit pope in history?

• How is he trying to change the church?

• And what are people saying in support, or even opposition?
