He’s been downplaying his Chicago roots, even skipping English in his first speech!

Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowPope Leo XIV’s Surprising Plea to JournalistsPope Leo XIV just called out journalists, urging them to ditch the drama and use their platforms for peace, not conflict. He wants media to “disarm” communication—no more fueling hate or aggression, just real listening and amplifying the voices that usually get ignored. He even shouted out reporters risking it all in war zones and called for imprisoned journalists to be freed. Oh, and he’s not ignoring AI—he says we need to use tech responsibly, too. Big words from the Vatican! #MediaForPeace #JournalismMatters #PopeLeoXIV #Communication #PressFreedom #Culture39951Share

Andrew Bryan+FollowWhy Pope Leo XIV’s Name Matters for WorkersDid you catch Chris Cuomo’s take on the new Pope Leo XIV? As a lifelong Catholic, Cuomo says the Pope’s choice of the name ‘Leo’ is a big deal—especially for working class Americans. Here’s why: the last Pope Leo (Leo XIII) was all about workers’ rights and balancing the power between employers and employees. Cuomo points out that this could mean Pope Leo XIV will focus on issues like income inequality and the dignity of the working class—super relevant for what’s happening in America right now. Whether you’re religious or not, Cuomo thinks this is a positive sign for anyone who cares about fair economic policies. What do you think—will the new Pope make a difference? #PopeLeoXIV #ChrisCuomo #WorkersRights #IncomeInequality #CatholicChurch #Spirituality60Share
