In the past week, the Catholic Church was heavily involved in bringing about a peace deal between Columbia and the FARC rebel group. The signing ceremony took place in a Catholic church, after a Catholic mass held by the Vatican’s most senior cardinal. Trumpet writer Richard Palmer shows how this is indicative of the Vatican’s growing international power. Today’s show delves behind the scenes of an even more important display of the Vatican’s reemerging diplomatic power—the United States-Cuba peace deal.
