Eastern Europe's Cardinals and the Conclave: Faith After Persecution

As the Conclave approaches, Eastern European cardinals represent a Church shaped by decades of communist oppression, post-Soviet transition, and now rising secularism.

This episode dives into the unique voices from Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, and beyond—men formed in suffering, now called to shape the Church’s future.

With only 9 electors but powerful symbolic weight, can this region inspire a renewal of faith across the global Church?
