Papal Crest

Pope Leo XIV

Many blessings to our new Holy Father Leo XIV!

25.05.08 Elezione del Romano Pontefice

With all new popes, we don’t really know how the Spirit will lead them to lead the Church. I remember when Pope Benedict XVI was elected. Local news interviewed me on the narrative that Cardinal Ratzinger was “God’s German Shepherd”—a hardass conservative. As I said then, he was in a different role than he is now. Pope Benedict XVI revealed himself to be a fantastic teacher who actually drew larger crowds to his weekly audiences than the “more popular” John Paul II.

So, who will Pope Leo XIV be? He’ll be Pope Leo XIV.
