Pope Leo XIV may not be God’s gift to the media. When asked to name a book that best explains his faith and worldview, the Chicago-born pope pointed to the work of a 17th-century monk.
Pope Francis was known for creating a media frenzy nearly every time he was on a plane returning to Rome from an international trip. Get him in front of the press, and all bets were off about what might be said. It began with “Who am I to judge?” — infamously misinterpreted, manipulated, and yet supremely useful for getting people who have grievances and differences with the Catholic Church to take a second look at it.
