Meet the Catholic map lady who wants to help Pope Francis fight climate change—if the Vatican will let her.

The Catholic Church owns a lot of land: churches, monasteries,
schools, hospitals, cemeteries and more. What it’s missing are
maps. That’s where Molly Burhans comes in. Molly is on a mission to
not only make a digital record of Catholic landholdings but to help
the church use that land for good. We ask Molly how Catholic
organizations can make their land environmentally sustainable and
socially useful, how frustrating it can be to work with the Vatican
at times and how she remains hopeful in the face of climate
change.   In Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley discuss
the history of pope and president meetings ahead of Joe Biden’s
trip to the Vatican. Plus, a gay teacher and music director in the
Diocese of Brooklyn is fired after he married his partner. We ask:
What’s the true cause of scandal in stories like this? Finally, we
have a bonus episode for the members of our Patreon community. We
sit down with our colleague Jim McDemott, S.J., a.k.a. The Pop
Culture Priest, to talk about why we love the extremely Catholic
Netflix show “Midnight Mass.” Become a Patreon member today to get
this and future bonus episodes! Links from the show Biden’s meeting
with Pope Francis carries resonance as disputes divide U.S.
