An American Walks Into The Papacy | December 28, 2025

Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description

The year handed us a headline few expected: an American chosen as Pope. From the first moments of white smoke and Latin announcements to the weight of global expectations, we explore what this means for a church that must listen beyond its borders. I share why international experience matters in a leader who represents the message of Jesus to the world, and how the name Leo XIV quietly nods to the legacy of Catholic social teaching and the dignity of work.
