What's in a name? Pope Leo XIV's choice signals a commitment to social justice

[Dulcinea]

SCHIAVON, Italy (AP) — Pope Leo XIV ‘s choice of name signals a commitment to social justice that is very much in line with the late Pope Francis ' global ministry.

“I think a lot us had a question mark when they elected an American, and then he selected the name Pope Leo XIV,” said Natalia Imperatori-Lee, the chair of religious studies at Manhattan University. “It really means to me he will continue the work of Leo XIII.”

Pope Leo XIII, who was head of the Catholic Church from 1878 to 1903, laid the foundation for modern Catholic social thought, most famously with his 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, which addressed workers’ rights and capitalism at the dawn of the industrial age. He criticized both laissez-faire capitalism and state-centric socialism, giving shape to a distinctly Catholic vein of economic teaching.

The name “is a deep sign of commitment to social issues,” said Imperatori-Lee. “I think this (new) pope is saying something about social justice, by choosing this name, that it is going to be a priority. He is continuing a lot of Francis’ ministry.”

1. My sister in Florida

My sister in Florida is a deeply devoted Catholic. She has displayed many maga traits over these Krasnov years. We don’t speak of anything political. I think we're both afraid of losing our relationship.
Yesterday she asked me if I saw the new pope. I replied that it is good that he is young and looks like a kind and happy man. I did a little research on Leo Xlll. And told her Leo 13th was the working man's pope and against social injustice.
And then I sent he the AI image of Krasnov in pope robes that Krasnov posted.
She had no idea he posted anything like that. Or even said he wanted to be pope.
I couldn't resist it so I sent her screen shots of the maga screech monkeys like Loomer who called the new Pope.... Woke
I told my sister what are they all talking about WOKE. Every single Pope is WOKE. They preach and uphold the teaching of Jesus.

2. Every time I hear about conservatives being devoted Catholics, I wonder "What is it they are devoted to?"

The Crusades?
The Inquisition?
The Holocaust?



All the work of ultra-right-wing Catholics.
