  • There is some meaning in the name he chose. Most popes choose a name of a pontiff which values they share. Pope Leo 13 was a pope that was very concerned with workers rights:

    Pope Leo (XIII) outlined the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and the formation of trade unions, while affirming the rights to property and free enterprise, opposing both socialism and laissez-faire capitalism. With that encyclical, he became popularly titled as the “Social Pope” and the “Pope of the Workers”,

    I can’t wait to see how this first American pontiff will put this moral policy towards the Christians of his native country (and others’ for that matter).

    Certainly as the president who, just recently, imagined himself fit to be pope, sees him as a natural ally as he only thinks that way himself. I curious how Leo XIV will handle that situation, it will be one of the biggest tests of his pontificate.
