Pope Leo held private audiences with two figures emblematic of opposing poles within US Catholicism: Cardinal Raymond Burke, a prominent Francis critic who denounced synodality as a threat to the integrity of the church, and Jesuit priest James Martin, an advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the church whose ministry with LGBTQ+ outreach received repeated signs of support from Francis.
Pope Leo's interview with a Vatican journalist provides insight into how he sees his role as pope: a bridge-builder, engaging but uncontroversial, and acting as an astute administrator.
