As global attention turns to the search for the next Pope, »Ê¹ÚÌåÓý’s University historian Dr. Ariel Salzmann and educator Rosa Bruno-Jofre are available for interviews to provide context on the current state of the Catholic Church and the implications of a papal transition.
With nearly a decade since Pope Francis issued Laudato Si’ (2015), his landmark encyclical on the environment, this moment marks a critical reflection point. Pope Francis has been a transformative figure — elevating the Church’s voice on climate justice, poverty, migration, and positioning the Vatican as a moral force on global issues.
Dr. Salzmann and Dr. Bruno-Jofre offers informed commentary on the Church’s evolving role, internal dynamics, and what may lie ahead as the Catholic world prepares for change.
**Dr. Bruno-Jofre is available for raio and print interviews only.
