Pope Leo: A Bridge-Builder
In his first months, Leo XIV looks like a listener: he calls synodality an attitude of openness, maintains Church teaching on marriage and sexuality, and signals cautious openness to broader Latin Mass celebration. The aim is less polarisation, deeper dialogue, a bridge builder who consults widely and will lead decisively.
