The "Mercy" of Francis

James Birch and Father Jenkins discuss recent remarks by Francis about mercy, his "Year of Mercy", and how what Francis is offering differs from the traditional Catholic understanding of mercy and justice. A comparison is made between them in terms of what they teach and their respective devotions, such as the "Divine Mercy" of the Vatican II Church and the Catholic devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. This program was recorded on 2 December 2015.
