NCR executive editor Heidi Schlumpf is part of the new season of "The Francis Effect" podcast, joining co-hosts Franciscan Fr. Daniel Horan (columnist for NCR) and David Dault, executive producer and host of "Things Not Seen: Conversations About Culture and Faith."

Heidi, Father Daniel and David look at the recent death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, and his legacy. They also explore the many facets of synodality, as they look at a recent essay by San Diego Cardinal Robert McElroy about welcoming the marginalized, and the possibilities that arise in letting the excluded voices of women play a role in our liturgies.
