Priorities for the Papacy

The Hard Shoulder is looking back on 2025’s biggest moments in the news, and who were at the heart of it.

We’re going back to the very start of summer - the 18th of May, and the inauguration of the new Pope, Leo the 14th.

It was one of the biggest events of the year and broadcast right around the world…

Joining Ciara Doherty to discuss is Archbishop of Dublin Dermot Farrell, who attended the ceremony.
