If there’s one succinct way to describe Pope Francis’s stewardship of the Catholic Church over the last 12 years, it might best be done with three of his own words: “todos, todos, todos” — “everyone, everyone, everyone.” Now, Pope Leo XIV, the church’s new leader and its first American pope, has signaled he plans to […] Read more ›
