This should be interesting. Pope Leo XIV - Wikipedia

Not just any American Pope. He's somewhat progressive. Not full-bore but somewhat, while still maintaining a "middle of the road" approach to leading his flock. Doing the work of Jesus, who welcomed the stranger and loved his neighbor. There's hope!

We shall see. 🤨

How are we supposed to interpret that?

We will have to see how the new Pope handles this problem of abuse by the clergy . Hopefully he will not gaslight the victims and will do something productive about curbing it. And will do something that works in the real world and on a long term basis.

What do Popes do, they pontificate ,, on your actions or perceived inactions, abuse by clergy ? no such thing

I reserve judgement until I see how he treats our country, their number one benefactor of donations. Praying for great things to come.
