Re: Pope Leo XIV
The first Pope Leo met with Attila the Hun and persuaded him not to invade Italy. Maybe Pope Leo XIV wants to channel those diplomatic skills? According to his Wiki page, the 13th Pope Leo wrote a document that outlined the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and the formation of trade unions, while affirming the rights to property and free enterprise, opposing both socialism and laissez-faire capitalism. So, advocating for workers without falling into political camps?

I believe Leo XIV has said he chose his name in honor of Leo XIII.
