Throughout his pontificate, Pope Francis has emphasized the importance of following one’s conscience and the discernment of spirits. But what is discernment and how does one do it? This workshop will take a practical approach to the practice based on the classical rules that were developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola. The morning will include presentations as well as case studies and discussion.
