“The Augustinian Roots of Pope Leo XIV”

Gregory Grimes in Church Life Journal:

“The question of how leaders, or people of this age, will be remembered by future generations who suffer from our actions or inactions should be on the minds of all leaders, and especially a leader who must embody Christ’s servant leadership. The world is deeply in need of God’s peace and God’s peacemakers. And on the other, ecological front, there is hope that Leo XIV will continue Francis’s legacy of being one of the foremost world leaders to speak unequivocally about the urgency of combating climate change, not just addressing its symptoms, but healing its root causes. What a triumph it would be if instead of battling one another, the world united to take on its common enemy—ecological catastrophe—with the Church at the forefront of that mission.”
