POPE LEO XIV TO BE THE MOST TRANSFORMATIVE POPE OF MY LIFETIME
I am short on time, but you need to know he is of the Augustine Order. This means he is pro immigrant, pro working class, and rejects personal wealth. He is a man of simple means.
He will lead US American Catholics in the same direction as Pope Francis, but with greater focus on influencing US Catholics.
Of course, the Pope's power is inherent when it comes to policy outside the Vatican. But it is powerful when leading his flock.
I forgot to post this after I wrote it. I was on my way to the doctor.
But let me add, I find Pope Leo inspirational. I am not a Catholic, although I longed to be a Jesuit Priest. I had seen their work in Nicaragua and wanted to be just like them.
I could never agree with Catholic doctrine. But I agreed with Pope Francis and see Pope Leo as a great voice in this time of conflict.
Some are saying he will be in conflict with Trump. I do not see it. Pope Leo will carry his message without regard to how it will be received by politicos. I think US Catholics will embrace him. This may cause problems for MAGA and Trump. But I believe Pope Leo will stay out of the fray and just do his work. This will be his distinction.
We should all be inspired by his faith. I do not have to be a Catholic to embrace Pope Leo's faith. This is what made Pope Francis so unique. Even agnostics and atheists embraced Pope Francis' message. I believe Pope Leo will also be embraced by agnostics and atheists. I see both of them as miracles.
We are in our second Pope who will shepard to all of God's sheep. It is sad the evangelical MAGA types are already on the attack
