Robert Prevost has named himself Pope Leo XIV.
It evokes a "working for workers" pope, like Leo XIII was, over 100 years ago, as the industrial revolution transformed society.

Great piece

So, I am DELIGHTED by this choice. There is obviously much more to say about it, and this is a good overview: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I also recommend the Bettenson translation of Augustine’s City of God for laypersons who want to explore the philosophy.

I feel like the new Pope is a canny choice. Robert Prevost is American, so Trump *has* to embrace him. But is he in any way part of the conservative Catholic movement that swung in behind MAGA? Very much no, it appears. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is meatiest article I've read yet on the new pope. She says if you take the name Leo, you tend to be a reformer at the progressive end of Catholicism.

"If Pope Francis was the People’s Pope, then Leo XIV is all set to be the Workers’ Pope. "

No pay wall.
