    Welcome to Vatican Insider on the weekend that precedes the arrival in Rome of half a million youth from over 140 countries to celebrate the weeklong Jubilee of Youth that starts Monday, July 28! Exciting days ahead, for sure! And an exciting Special report this weekend in what is normally the interview segment of VI. I prepared a Special program because this is such a special weekend! Saturday is the feast of Sts. Anne and Joachim, parents of our Blessed Mother and grandparents of Jesus, and Sunday marks the 5th World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly.

    A CONVERSATION WITH JONATHAN ROUMIE PART 2
    Jul 18 2025
    In Part II of our conversation, we talk about the years of filming The Chosen, how he was chosen for his role as Jesus, and the extraordinary time spent in Matera for the Crucifixion. Jonathan explains when and how that season will air. I asked if he felt this role had changed him in any way over all these years of filming? I also asked an almost impossible question to answer: Did he have a favorite segment (or two)?

    Welcome to Vatican Insider on another exciting Jubilee weekend in a very hot Rome – the Jubilee of Sports with a lot of events in the agenda including the Mass on Sunday the 15th celebrated by Pope Leo XIV, a Pope who likes sports, and has played tennis, and is a fan of his native Chicago’s baseball team, the White Sox. In fact, he was given a White Sox baseball cap at the Wednesday general audience and wore it briefly, sporting a broad smile! (photos from Fr.Peter Zorjan! Leo XIV is standing near a group of American seminarians and I suspect they gave him the hat!) The interview segment features Catherine Wiley and Marilyn Henry of the Catholic Grandparents Association as we talk about the first international conference CGA recently held in Rocca di Papa, near Rome. Catherine is the founder and president of CGA and Marilyn is the delegate for the U.S. and works with other CGA groups internationally. CGA grandparents from Ireland, England, Australia, the U.S., Malta, Gibraltar and the Philippines were among those attending the conference. That fascinating conversation comes after the news.
