'When [Sister Sue] Experiences the Conclave (and is on National News)'

After a trip to Italy that included the experience of witnessing Pope Leo XIV’s entrance to the world at St. Peter’s Square in Rome as the new leader of a global religion in person, Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Adoration Sue Ernster was interviewed by WIZM Talk News for the episode titled “Divine: When a La Crosse Franciscan Sister Experiences the Conclave (and is on National News).” Aired on May 22, the interview centered around how Sister Sue “believes the Holy Spirit is at work having an American pope when the world looks to the United States.”

“He represents a diverse group of people. He is significant to the world because he is holding up an example” of “how to be an authentic human being, living out your faith.”
