Christopher Lamb, CNN Vatican Correspondent, former Vatican Correspondent for the Tablet and author of a new book, American Hope: What Pope Leo XIV means for the Church and the World, will deliver the Catholic Union’s next pub talk on Monday 11 May. Chaired by Catherine Pepinster, journalist, the event will be open to all but booking is essential.
The Catholic Union has held a series of pub talks, a very informative way to hear from politicians and policy makers about various issues in a relaxed setting. Recent talks have featured Catherine McKinnell MP, Sir Iain Duncan-Smith MP, Jon Cruddas, Ann Widdecombe, Alex Macqueen, Lord Glasman, Andrew Hawkins, Stephen Pound, Andy Keen-Downs, Kate Nightingale, Sojan Joseph, Margaret and Barry Mizen and John Studzinski. The Catholic Union is grateful to the Charlotte Marshall Trust for its sponsorship of this series of pub talks.
Christopher Lamb is CNN’s Vatican Correspondent. He covered the funeral of Pope Francis and the conclave that elected Pope Leo XIV and has been a journalist for two decades. His first book, The Outsider, lifted a lid on the resistance Pope Francis faced in his battle to reform the Catholic Church.
Please book your place at the pub talk on Monday 11 May at 6.30 pm at the Brass Monkey, Victoria. There will be an opportunity to buy a copy of Chris’ book at the event.
