Off the Shelf 063 with Philip Lawler – Lost Shepherd 2018-03-09T10:42:35-05:00 Pete Socks
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Philip Lawler is the editor of Catholic World News and is one of America’s most incisive Catholic journalists and commentators. A graduate of Harvard College he has served as editor of Crisis magazine, the Boston Pilot and Catholic World Report. He is the author or editor of ten books on political and religious topics. His essays, book reviews, and editorial columns have appeared in over 100 newspapers around the United States and abroad. A pro-life activist and veteran of many political campaigns, Phil was himself a candidate for the US Senate in 2000, running against the late Sen. Ted Kennedy.
On this episode of Off the Shelf, Phil Lawler and I dive into his book Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis is Misleading His Flock. The book has been receiving considerable press lately mostly because of its subject, the pontificate of Pope Francis. In this genuinely, well thought out book Phil explains why he, like many others, have had concern over what has transpired in the five years since the election of Pope Francis. We take a look at some of the mixed signals and confusion that has arisen from the Pope’s various interviews, homilies, and writings as well as what the future may hold under this one-of-a-kind pontificate and it’s departure from what the Catholic faithful have become used to in the previous 30 years.
