Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost from Chicago, was swiftly elected following Pope Francis' death. His election raises questions about his political stance. Will he follow in Francisâ semi-progressive footsteps, or lean towards a more conservative approach reminiscent of John Paul II? The article argues that in a politically charged world, what is needed is a pope who embodies spiritual leadership rather than political inclinations. Historical examples of impactful papacies are cited to highlight the potential influence of strong spiritual leadership over political agendas.
Historically, popes have been churchmen rather than God-men. In 476 AD, Pope Leo I faced the frightful and barbaric Attila the Hun and somehow persuaded him to turn away from Rome.
Before his election, some had called for the second coming of John Paul II, the bold conservative whose convictions challenged the power of dictatorial regimes.
