Former Roman Catholic priest for 22 years Richard Bennett (website: http://www.BEREANBEACON.ORG) on the question "Who is the Holy Father?" Richard is joined in studio by Pastor Bill Mencarow of Reformation Church Texas (website: https://worldunderchrist.wordpress.com/) located in Boerne, Texas.
Under the title of Holy Father, Pope Francis is due to visit the USA in September 2015.
