Livestream on Pope Francis at noon
Co-hosted with Paul Vanderklay
Hello everyone. I’ll be co-hosting a livestream today, 4/22/2025 at noon EST to discuss Pope Francis, his legacy, and papal background with my good friend
.The stream will be geared towards non-Catholics to provide some background information on where we are, how we got here, and what we might be looking forward to.
Paul will play the role of curious outsider, and I’ll do my best to play the role of curious insider. I’ll do my best not to make this a bash session, but I will not cart out performative piety.

Please come join us. We will take questions in the second half in the chat.
Very enlightening and enjoyable conversation Kale. Great work.
Just wanted to say that your free portion of ‘Training in Observation’ was fantastic. It’s my favorite thing I’ve read of yours, although I’ve only read a few. “What do you see?” & “What do you hear?” become revolutionary questions in an age of static and noise. Jesus talking about lilies of the field came to mind and then I imagine Him in private with his little, roving band around him with a campfire roaring in the Galilean countryside, asking the apostles those same questions…
“What do you see?”
“What do you hear?”
“The kingdom of God is here…”
“Can you see it?”
“Can you hear it?”
(Give me a week and I’ll repurpose this riff into a post. Thanks Kale.)
