Our Thoughts on Pope Leo XIV

Mike Gormley and Dave VanVickle share their thoughts on Pope Leo, unpack the meaning of  “synodality” which the pope has mentioned various times, and address key differences and similarities between this papacy as opposed to previous ones. They also remind us that while the pope is important, we must not become hyper focused on every single detail of the papacy.

Snippet from the Show

“I’m super cautiously optimistic about everything with Pope Leo. Everything he’s written so far, I’ve been so excited about, the decisions that he’s made so far, I’ve been very happy with. I’m excited to see what’s going to happen here.”
