Incredible newspaper photo! Deacon Robert F. Prevost — the future Pope Leo XIV Pope Leo XIV — assisting Pope St. John Paul II during Holy Mass at the altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. June 1982. Then Dcn. Prevost was only days from being ordained a Priest. Vatican News

Indeed. Has the new archbishop read the academic policies of his own seminary? (shms.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2024-2025-Acad…, p. 75)

Crap.

Pope Leo has seen our tweets, and he's not happy. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-to-infl…

The pope’s message to influencers was clear — stop weaponizing faith and start spreading compassion online. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-to-infl…

In the office of the papacy, and not the person of the pope himself. Which is a change. St John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis did not reference that change.

The Holy Father Pope Leo XIV has bestowed upon Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman the title of Doctor of the Church!!! The title will be formally conferred in a Mass to be announced. A fantastic day for the Church!!

Wonderful news. Newman was the arch foe of liberalism; the foremost theologian of doctrinal development, who insisted that a true development can never be a reversal of doctrine; and warned against abuses of the doctrine of papal infallibility. His work is most relevant today.

JohanRuiterRuiter El Reconqristador ابو شربل 🇲🇽 Brian O'Sullivan Joseph Vu Harry D'Agostino I'm putting you both on time-out until the Curia appointments drop later this month. We will know much more about Leo's theological inclinations real soon. Then we can argue.

JohanRuiterRuiter Scott Smith Josh Mansfield Pope Francis was studying from very old manuals while Pope Benedict and I'm assuming Pope John Paul II got to study at some of the best Universities in the world.

Wonder if we can get credit for a minor in Augustinian Studies just by living through the Leo XIV papacy. Learn something new from him basically every Pope Leo homily or address.

A interesting look at how our New Pope is handling the synodal process.

Most Americans major in fields other than gender studies.

One change that Pope Leo might be pushing for; is that he seems to downgrade papal supremacy. Not the role of the office itself, but the aura around it, he seems to be framing himself and the office; as first amoing equals as how the church fathers saw it. JohanRuiterRuiter

: ) El Reconqristador ابو شربل 🇲🇽 Scott Smith lori Augustine never denied sexual morality. It he framed it in a way that places the emphasis on the conversion process and the encounter. That he was always trying. But not right away.

May Winter JohanRuiterRuiter Scott Smith T. McCarthy Nick Donnelly Rorate Caeli Henk Rijkers ن My hot take is that Pope Leo sees the church as a uber organization as dead. Christendom is dead. And the church is better off evangelizing one by one. Much like Augustine’s time.

JohanRuiterRuiter Josh Mansfield Scott Smith That’s why I always say, The first missionary pope. It’s important. Some might say, missionary impulse excludes doctrine, I don’t think so. Saving souls should mean doctrine. Why else would The Pope chosen to became a missionary ?

Biden has more Old Stock American ancestry than Trump.

This misunderstands the academic formation Pope Leo received at Catholic Theological Union. And as we can see, he's far more influenced by Augustine than any modern theologian. JohanRuiterRuiter Scott Smith Josh Mansfield

Hot take. This quote is dumb.
