Prominent Hamilton Catholics to reflect on new pope in live Thursday webcast

Catholics in Hamilton are reacting to the election of Argentinian Jorge Bergoglio (now Pope Francis I) to the papacy.
CBC Hamilton's Julia Chapman will be sitting down with two of them — anti-poverty activist Deirdre Pike and McMaster communication prof Alex Sévigny — on Thursday for a live webcast to ask their thoughts on the new pope and what his reign might have in store for the faith's 1.2 billion adherents.
