Fr. Chris Alar offers powerful theological insight in an Easter Octave special on the death of Pope Francis and the high-stakes conclave ahead, urging Catholics to see this moment not just as mourning — but as a divine invitation to resurrection. As confusion and compromise marked much of Francis’s papacy, the panel calls for a new pope who will restore truth, clarity, and tradition. Fr. Alar emphasizes the need for cardinals and laity to be in a state of grace, especially as Divine Mercy Sunday offers unmatched spiritual renewal. They honor the fearless legacy of Mother Angelica and challenge today’s leaders to follow her example.
