kimberly31+FollowPope Leo XIV’s Surprising Thesis TakeDid you know the new pope literally wrote the book (well, thesis) on how religious leaders should serve, not rule? Pope Leo XIV’s doctoral work argued that real authority in the church means putting the community first—no power trips allowed. Kinda wild considering all the recent scandals about leaders abusing their positions. Makes you wonder how his past studies will shape his time as pope! #PopeLeoXIV #ChurchLeadership #AuthorityAsService #CatholicChurch #WatercoolerMoment #Culture492Share
Michelle Jackson+FollowWho Will Be the Next Pope? Not a Copycat!Cardinal Cristobal Lopez, who’s about to vote for the next pope, says the Church doesn’t need a Pope Francis lookalike—just someone who’s a genuinely good person and tuned in to the world. He’s all about the Church serving people, not just itself, and even jokes about how unlikely it is he’d be chosen (comparing it to replacing Messi!). Plus, he’s open to the next pope coming from anywhere, not just Europe or Latin America. Big changes could be coming! #PopeWatch #CatholicChurch #Vatican #FaithNews #ChurchLeadership #Culture1716Share
