Thread Name: Obit: Pope Francis (1936-2025) /Pope Leo XIV
Subject: RE: Obit: Pope Francis (1936-2025) /Pope Leo XIV
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.
