In charity and love for our new holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, I will not label him other than he is now the Vicar of Christ. I will pray for him and for our Church. Christ is the head of the Church. I pray we listen and do his will.
Pope Leo XIII also wrote the St. Michael prayer. So this looks like two St. Michael connections so far.
Our chastisement proceeds apace. Wasn't it the Book of Joel where priests and people and even the animals fasted. Sack cloth and ashes. And the prophet said "perhaps God will relent." The angel told Sister Agnes to put on sackcloth. And pray the Rosary!
The current synod is rigged, I would laugh if the synod suddenly became unrigged. Anything can happen, we have no clue. I get your hesitation, given his history, but the Spirit is moving too.
It's publicly shared that he oversaw the removal of "problem bishop" Strickland and has many connections to McCarrick, Cupich and Fr James Martin. But God has allowed this so we must remain hopeful.
Well at least he mentioned Our Lady enough to the point where my Protestant grandmother was asking about it so maybe he’ll declare the fifth Marian dogma.
I was a very early critic of Pope Francis. I got banned from MOG multiple times for pointing out his heterodoxy. But I have a decent track record on this now. I’m not willing to just put on a Pollyanna kumbaya happy face. I refused to don rose colored glasses with Pope Francis. And it’s NOT the time to do so now. The Church is in grave danger. Souls are in grave danger.
St Augustine was a convert. Leo was a great Pope. This gives me much hope. It is also a sign much prayer is needed ie: St Monica.
I fully understand Brain and who can blame anyone with what we have went through but let us maybe start with hope and trust in the guidance of the Holy Spirit let us have a moment of hope. Anything is possible with God. I know nothing of this man but my first instant feeling was a good feeling I hope this Pope is a great Pope he is of french decent maybe a great monarch please God he will have a great pontificate
For better or worse he is the pope. Unlike Francis no conspiracy about his election. We owe him filial devotion. We must all tread carefully.
