The Boston Globe’s new Catholic website Crux had its launch event on Thursday, a discussion on the papacy of Pope Francis. The event featured Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston, John Allen, Mary Ann Glendon, Hosffman Ospino, and Millennial editor Robert Christian. Margery Eagan moderated the panel.
The full video of the event can be viewed here.
Michael O’Loughlin, the national reporter for Crux, has a full report.
WGBH News also has a report.
And here is the Globe’s story.
The Archdiocese of Boston has a collection of pictures from the event on Flickr.
Finally, here are some tweets from those live-tweeting the event:
