The Jesuits

BBC Radio 4 - Beyond Belief, The Jesuits

Ernie Rea and guests debate the Jesuits in the light of Pope Francis's recent election.

At the start of a new series, Ernie Rea and guests debate the Jesuits, in the light of Pope Francis's recent election. How will the principles of the Order impact his papacy?

Beyond Belief debates the place of religion and faith in today's complex world. Ernie Rea is joined by a panel to discuss how religious beliefs and traditions affect our values and perspectives.
Pope Francis is the first Pope from a religious order for 200 years. Many were surprised by his appointment. But what will his Jesuit formation give him as he grapples with the many complex issues facing the Catholic Church, including child abuse and infighting, including what some view as corruption, within the Vatican itself?
In the first of a new series, Ernie Rea discusses the Jesuits, with panellists Brendan Callaghan SJ, Master of Campion Hall, Oxford; Michael Barnes SJ, Professor of Interreligious Relations at Heythrop College, University of London and Catherine Pepinster, Editor of The Tablet.
