Today\u2019s topics: Pope Francis on Looking to the Present and Future through the Emmaus Story\nSummary of today\u2019s show: When Pope Francis visited Rio de Janeiro during World youth Day, he gave many addresses and had so many appearances, that some of the most important could easily have been overlooked. Scot Landry and Fr. Chris O\u2019Connor discussed one of them: The Holy Father\u2019s meeting with the bishops of Brazil on July 28.\nPope Francis addresses the reality of people having abandoned the Church because they think she can no longer offer them anything of value and what they need the Church to aspire to be; how the Church safeguards truth and beauty and keeps the Gospel in order to pass them on to each new generation; and the Church\u2019s right to freedom to proclaim the Gospel.\nListen to the show:\n\nToday\u2019s host(s): Scot Landry and Fr.
