Vol. 2, Ep. 1, "God's Mercy is No Bull"

That's right friends, Vatican You is back. And to get things started off right, we're spending a couple of shows delving into Pope Francis' "papal bull" inaugurating this Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, Misericordiae Vultus ('The Face of Mercy'.)  But as we all know, "God's Mercy is No Bull"!  In addition to encountering the Holy Father's intentional connection between this Year of Mercy and Vatican II, we look for answers to these questions:

• Why is it called a "papal bull"?
• What's the deal with these "holy doors" anyway?
• What does it mean to encounter "the face of mercy"?
• How is God's mercy a bright light, a place of peace and protection, and an amazing invitation - all at the same time?

What are your questions about the Year of Mercy?  Share them in the comments below, or find us on Facebook on the Vatican You Show page.  And don't forget, you can subscribe to our podcast on iTunes.

Vol 2, Ep 1 "God's Mercy is No Bull"

Vatican You is back in the New Year, and to get things started off right, we're spending a couple of shows delving into Pope Francis' "papal bull" inaugurating this Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, Misericordiae Vultus (The Face of Mercy). But as we all know, God's mercy is no bull! In addition to encountering the intentional connection between the Year of Mercy and Vatican II, we explore why the document is called a "papal bull," what it means to encounter the "face of mercy", and what the big deal is with these holy doors we keep hearing about.
