Franciscan Sr. Shannon Schrein joins Sister Maxine to shed some light on the issue with a discussion about a layperson baptizing a child on her own, the church's teaching on limbo, the different forms of baptism, and more.

Pope Francis greets immigrants at the port in Lampedusa, Italy, during his first papal trip outside Rome, on July 8, 2013. During that visit, Francis urged people not to be part of the "globalization of indifference" to the world's immigrants and refugees. Francis' call for mercy toward all summarizes his vision of the church, writes Diego Mauro. (CNS/CPP/L'Osservatore Romano)
