Episode 167: Pope Leo XIV and the Theology of Sports

The pope is American, he's a certified baseball fan, and the Catholic Church has a detailed and rich theology of sports that we want to talk about! On today's show, Chad and John discuss:

4:00 - NBA Draft Lottery and Playoff check-in.

11:15 - Barcelona and Inter Milan played one of the greatest soccer ties of all time.

16:05 - Major League Baseball unbanned Pete Rose, Joe Jackson, and others. Why is this happening now? Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame?

25:30 - Pope Leo XIV

35:00 - The theology of sports. To read the Holy See's bulletin, click here.
