Spirituality New Pope Leo XIV is providing the progressive moral leadership that current U.S. officials won't
Cerebral he may be, but Pope Leo XIV is showing no signs of caution in the first months of his papacy. He has taught compassion for refugees and taken to task the cruelty of Trump regimes beyond-the-pale immigration enforcement.
The Pope appears aligned with such prelates as Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich and at odds with the leadership of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which can be characterized as the MAGA movement at prayer.
It is significant in that Leo is the first American born leader of the worlds Catholics. He is a Chicago native and a White Sox fan who has voted in American elections.
Leo has also taken up themes, like a criticism of excesses of the rich in a new Gilded Age, preached by his predecessor Pope Francis.

You don't expect Krasnov to provide moral leadership, do you? And Mike Johnson is too busy trying to claim Krasnov is a man of God while checking out his Grindr feed and taking money from the poor.
