Fr. Rocky discusses the Pope’s health and legacy

Rev. Francis Hoffman “Fr. Rocky” had the opportunity to join NewsNation this morning to discuss the current state of the Pope’s health, the state of the atmosphere in the Catholic world, and the legacy that Pope Francis will leave behind should he pass away.

While the Holy Father is old (88) and currently sick with pneumonia, the Catholic world is filled with hope: hopeful that the Pope recovers and hopeful that if he doesn’t recover, he can have a peaceful, happy death and our cardinals will elect a strong and faithful pope to succeed him.



The people in Rome and the Vatican have been gathering in St. Peter’s Square to pray for Pope Francis. Relevant Radio would like to invite you to join the Catholic family around the world in these prayers for our Holy Father. We will be broadcasting the Holy Rosary from St. Peter’s Square at 2pm CT, and we will be praying the Family Rosary Across America tonight at 7pm CT for Pope Francis. You can find both live streams here or by visiting RelevantRadio.com/Rosary.
