Pope Leo XIV is ending one of the changes instituted by Pope Francis to bring about “Synodality” in the Church.
—
He has only been in office for a month, but every word and action of Pope Leo XIV has been analyzed extensively by the media trying to determine the mentality of the new pontiff, elected on May 8, just a few weeks after Pope Francis died on April 21.
Most of what Leo has done was already prepared for his predecessor, including the men he has appointed bishops, and the meetings with officials he has held. Even many of his homilies and speeches were probably drawn from things originally written for Francis.
