Sebastian Gomes on the relationship between the Archdiocese and Vatican

Archbishop Neinstedt told MPR News' Madeleine Baran that his role as head of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is more of a "father figure" than a CEO.

Sebastian Gomes joined MPR News' Tom Crann to talk about how the Twin Cities' Archdiocese fits into the larger Catholic Church. Gomes is a journalist for Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation, and he produced "The Francis Effect," a documentary that takes a critical and in-depth look at how Pope Francis is changing the Catholic Church.
