The New York Times has articles every day about the conservative majority of United States Catholics, and how Leo XIV is a disappointment to them because he is not conservative enough for their taste. My last Catholic parish, which I loved, was staffed by Dominican friars who were deeply committed to Vatican II and to the Catholic Social Teaching espoused by Leo XIII. So Pope Leo is a pope after their hearts. His fellow cardinals say he is "no pushover" so hopefully he will build on what Pope Francis started.
