(01:11) Mom With Cancer Refused Abortion to Save Her Unborn Baby Girl’s Life, 10 Years Later They’re Doing Great (11:22) Tom (email) - Since one of the requirements of gaining a plenary indulgence involves praying for the pope's intentions, what should we do in times such as these when we have no pope? (19:55) Mary (email) - Understanding that Cardinal Viganò was excommunicated (possibly unjustifiably) by Pope Francis, what would be the process to reinstate him by the next Pope?

I told her she needed to receive it right away. Is that correct? (42:12) Bob - Can we get an indulgence since there is no pope right now? Or do we do the intention he announced at the beginning of the year? (47:41)
