Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

With the ascension of Pope Francis to the papacy, many Catholics detect a new wind blowing through the Vatican - a new openness not seen in many years. But, what will it mean for the Catholic church and will it last? Noted author Gary Wills has recently written a new book, "The Future of the Catholic Church with Pope Francis." He tells Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush that he sees the church already being dramatically changed -- especially by the Catholic parishioners themselves.
