Description: While Pope Francis has clearly attracted a ready ear among the Catholic faithful, his efforts to extend a more compassionate message to those who have been alienated from the faith and bring them back to the Church has generated a surprising amount of resistance among the hierarchy. That is especially true among American bishops, who in many respects are his chief critics. The conversation will begin among the panelists who will address these issues, but will move out to include questions and comments from the audience.
