The officious tone and constant hopeless pleading for the church to be something it will never be only strongly confirms my decision to leave it!!!!!

I find the topics timely and fairly presented. What I find interesting is how secular Media has a different take away on what actually happened.

This is the second time I have been disappointed in Gerard and his opinion during the Timor Leste podcast dismissing the behaviour of a Priest accused of sexual misconduct as being dealt with locally and defending the Pope not raising the issue. Colleen tried several times to say it is not...Read full review »

As a Deacon I use much of its content to keep my parish up to date with what is happening with the Church at large! Great job!

This is an excellent podcast. Thank you, America Magazine! This is the podcast I most look forward to hearing of all the podcasts I subscribe to—both secular and religious. Indeed, it is a breath of fresh air for me since it features dialogues that are frank and insightful, and it is not afraid...Read full review »

Way to liberal, sounds Catholic but leans to far towards changing sound doctrine. I only listen to track what the liberals are doing to the church I love.

Interesting and relevant

Well done! I liked the presentation of the broad spectrum of responses and some of the cultural and legal contexts from around the world.

Very informative and easy to listen to.

This is an excellent show. They are so virtuous in their reporting- polite about detractors of Pope Francis. The Synodal path of the Church benefits through having such witnesses.
Lourenel via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/17/23
This podcast is insightful, balanced, well-informed, and interesting. It’s made it to my shortlist of regular weekly listening. I’m grateful to finally have a place that I feel I can trust for information about current events in the Church.

I really enjoy the show. As a Catholic with grave concerns about the church, the show gives me hope that our pope is leading us in the right direction, trying to get the Catholic faith back to what Jesus Christ envisioned as His church. I wish the show was on more frequently.
Eclectic-a via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/23
Thank you for these wide-ranging and well-informed conversations that I see as broadly contributing to a lively and unifying view of what it means to be a Catholic today. We need excellent journalism which you provide. I especially appreciate Colleen Dulle’s perspective as a young laywomen,...Read full review »

This is an intelligent and well produced podcast providing the inside news of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church that you may or may not hear on the regular news.

Your show is becoming a regular in my podcast list. I would like to have more of it every year. Gracias.

They choose the most important stories, and they’re not afraid to choose topics which make people uncomfortable.
Patrick8645 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/22
Each time I think I will subscribe to “America,” I either hear or read something so off putting and disingenuous that I don’t. In your March 10 podcast, Ms Dulle repeats her doubt about the truthfulness of Pope Benedict VXI’s assertion that he and his staff erred rather than lied about the...Read full review »

I listen to every episode (started during RCIA) and I find it incredibly helpful in following the latest news from the Vatican. The inter generational respect and teamwork between Colleen and Gerard is really wonderful as well.

I look forward to each new program and refer to the archives often. Thank you for producing a program which seeks to understand and clarify a broad range of topics that are of interest to all Catholics.
MashterSchwimmer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/21
Colleen and Gerry really help understand what is going on behind the scenes in the Vatican. Colleen brings critical questions and Gerry has excellent access in Rome. Together they are a real power team!

After listening to the podcast, I read it! Quite the book & very interesting that it is one quoted by Pope Francis.
Ginagina Smith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
I love this weekly update and conversation between two talented journalists from America. I look forward to the dialogue between Colleen and Gerard, who bring intelligence, warmth, curiosity and compassion to their intergenerational exchange. This is a must listen for me each week.

Thank you Colleen and Gerry for this very brilliant podcast. It has become essential listening. The insights and background to put Francis visit is brilliant and I am going to share it with my parishioners in my weekly letter on Saturday.

I’ve enjoyed the topics discussed however was confused when Colleen referred to President Biden as one who “identifies as Catholic.” This is code used by many of the American bishops who wish to refuse him the Eucharist. As a Catholic, I support Biden’s decisions around women’s health. The...Read full review »

Why do you say Francis? Isn’t he the Pope? Are you forgetting to show your respect? What is going on?

gnidrg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/20
How I stay up to date with all the most important things going on in the Catholic Church. Great analysis by reputable and experienced reporters who understand the Church. A great tool for those working at parishes or other parts of the Church to know what’s going on.
J.D. Combs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/20
Colleen and Gerard make this program. The discussion is always topical and treated in an un-biased way. I love listening to their take on Pope Francis’s journey accompanying the church.

I love this podcasts. It provides insights into what a great pastor Francis is
adodds Oz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/28/20
Love the way that they present the information and especially for more in depth information, the show notes are very informative. Wish they were longer though.

I have been thoroughly enjoying this podcast over the last few months and love the freshness and optimism associated with the evidence based reporting of all the news that flows from the Vatican and its role in world affairs

I could listen to a whole genre of podcasts like this one, even more in depth. actually hearing coverage of whats happening in the vatican is so helpful and restores hope

I enjoy very much listening to this podcast, because it covers very interesting topics regarding the Vatican and Pope Francis. Good job! Congratulations!
Rick_65 via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 01/16/20
I really enjoy this podcast because of how it presents a nuanced and seemingly balanced view of the activities of the Vatican. I also really appreciate how it provides the greater context for each story. My only suggestion would be if it could go even more in depth!
Tully Mars via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/20
For a Catholic it is important for us to understand what is going on in Rome and unfortunately the mainstream news outlets do a terrible job in reporting what’s going on in the Vatican. The two hosts give not only the headlines but also analysis and perspectives. I look forward to it every week....Read full review »
