Deacons Pod: Pope Leo’s Virtue of Listening – Bishop Daniel Turley, O.S.A.

December 9, 2025

Bishop Daniel Turley, O.S.A., is our guest on this special episode of Deacons Pod.

Like Pope Leo XIV, he is a Chicago native, a member of the Midwest Augustinians, and served for decades as a missionary in Peru.

In this conversation with the Paulist Deacon Affiliates, Bishop Turley shares memories of Pope Leo and speaks about the pope’s gift for listening.

He also provides insights into the Augustinian charism and what it might mean for the Church in the coming years.

Bishop Turley was bishop of the Diocese of Chulucanas in Peru from 2000 to 2020 (and coadjutor bishop from 1996 to 2000). During his time as bishop, he faced death threats after standing in solidarity with people who were endangered by the actions of mining companies.

Bishop Turley returned to Chicago in 2020 and, this year, became rector of the National Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in the city’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.
