The Dallas Morning News: Pope Leo XIV is symbol of hope in a world of suffering

  • Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, was elected in April 2025 and addresses the Catholic Church amid global crises from St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
  • He succeeds Pope Francis, whose 13-year papacy included urgent calls for peace in Gaza and Ukraine and criticism of political turmoil in the U.S., especially under Trump’s administration.
  • Leo XIV inherits challenges including ongoing wars, nuclear tensions, a church abuse scandal, immigration issues, and growing expectations from diverse communities including survivors and LGBTQ groups.
  • Denise Murphy McGraw called Leo XIV's election "something we could have only dreamed of" while leaders like Zelensky and Isaac Herzog expressed hopes for peace and interfaith dialogue under his papacy.
  • Leo XIV’s vision emphasizes peace, justice, and bridge-building, implying a continuation of Francis’ ministry, but he must also address institutional reform amid a shifting global Catholic population and social divisions.
