- The pope kicked off the Lenten season with a traditional procession that goes back to the earliest moments of the Church.
- Remember the story of the million-dollar vegan challenge that offered Pope Francis a million bucks to the charity of his choice if he went vegan for Lent? Well, the Vatican responded.
- Leaders from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were in Rome for a very specific reason. Find out the details.
- The annual Vatican Yearbook is out, and it has some interesting statistics about the state of the Catholic Church in the world today. Is the Catholic Church in a growth or a decline?
