In this powerful episode, Conor Gallagher is joined by Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, STD, a moral theologian with a doctorate from the Holy Cross University in Rome, to discuss what happened to Catholic moral theology under Pope Francis.
Together, they delve into the controversies and confusion surrounding documents like Fiducia Supplicans, changes to the Catechism on the death penalty, Communion for the divorced and remarried (Amoris Laetitia), and the Church’s messaging on issues like gender, same-sex blessings, and end-of-life ethics.
Fr. Kirby doesn't hold back—sharing his deep concerns about doctrinal ambiguity, moral clarity, and the pastoral tone of this papacy. With thoughtful commentary, he reflects on the shift from the clear moral vision of St. John Paul II to the current climate of what he calls “Popesplaining.”
This is a conversation every Catholic should care about.
