Conferencia Episcopal Española releases videopodcasts on 60th anniversary

The Spanish Episcopal Conference is releasing four videopodcasts to mark its 60th anniversary. The series features interviews with recent presidents of the conference: Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela, Cardinal Ricardo Blázquez Pérez, Cardinal Juan José Omella, and the current president, Bishop Luis J. Argüello García.

Produced by Ábside Media Producciones and conducted by Irene Pozo in the Plenary Assembly hall, the interviews cover the history of the institution and the challenges faced during each president's term. The series began on October 21 with Cardinal Rouco Varela. Subsequent episodes will be released on YouTube every Wednesday: Cardinal Blázquez on October 28, Cardinal Omella on November 4, and Bishop Argüello on November 10.

The conference also plans to release a documentary titled "60 Years of the CEE: A Shared History" around the time of the upcoming Plenary Assembly of Spanish bishops, scheduled for November 16 to 23. This anniversary year included a visit from Pope Leo XIV to the headquarters of the Spanish Episcopal Conference on June 8.
