Pope Liu fourteen defeated a big blow against him: being an American

in the past , Pope Liu XIV Everything was going to him.

It seems that the new Pope, who was astonished by his election on the second day of the Roman Catholic world, from two places at the same time. He was born and learned in the United States, a vital state of church finance. But he was also a missionary, priest and bishop in Peru, he ran the papal committee of Latin America, which is part of the world where the church is vibrant.

He had a seal of the good approval of Pope Bob Francis, who put him in one of the best jobs in the Roman Catholic Church. There, like Cardinal Robert Francis Brevost, led the office that helped this Pope select the bishops, thus determining the future of the church.

He knew, and one of the Cardinals was to vote in the strong bureaucracy of the church, but he put the liberals at a comfort with his strong support for the greatest change in Francis, who sought to make the decision -making process in the church more and closer than the believers.

In unconfirmed times, he managed a global religious group, and the Order of St. Augustine, which requires a sophisticated understanding of the world. Its deep theological formation may have made conservatives concern about the doctrine of comfort. At the age of 69, the new Pope is the ideal era for the papal candidate.

The main strike against him was his American nationality, which is deals within decades because it was seen as being closely in line with the superior power in the world. But in the global system that has changed dramatically and in the church, which is increasingly sees beyond nationality, it seems that it does not matter what concerns them to 133 Cardinals who vote in the Sistine Church.

“I have examined all the boxes,” said John Allen, veteran Vatican analyst and author of “Concav”. He added that “geography and nationality stopped the issue of voting.”

Ten years after Francis vibrated the Church, the Cardinate College wanted to continue towards Francis, but with fewer circumvention and disruption. They chose a moderate, moderate priest in a tone, but they are firm in his defense of the faith, one with a deep Roman experience and the ruling segments.

“We must search together for how to be a missionary church.” He said that the church needs to work together “to build bridges and keep our arms open, such a square itself, and welcome.”

Just hours after his election, it was impossible to know how Leo ruled. But his first words, and the name he took, gave some evidence. The Vatican said that his name was the previous Liu, the Pope in the late nineteenth century, which helped create the traditions of the Catholic social justice of the Church. He also verified Francis, saying: “Thank you, Pope Francis!” Which prompted the applause from the crowd below.

He said that the word “Sendlisi”, which means a little or nothing for secular ears, but inside the church spoke inside the church about his intention to implement Francis’s vision of the church that governs less than higher in Rome from consulting the believers, and bringing bishops and ordinary people, including women, together to make large decisions.

He talked about peace and the proximity of those who suffered, which reflects his pastoral feeling, but he also returned to the Vatican traditions by appearing on the balcony in a way that Francis delivered.

While the Americans rejoiced in the crowd by naming one of them – “the United States of America! The United States of America!” Some chanted – and gave congratulations from the Italians who seemed confused from the uncommon face on the balcony, Francis supporters expressed a sigh of relief.

The first candidate for the Church Foreign Minister Francis left Petro Parolin, who, although an experienced diplomat had a distinguished profession in the church, had no pastoral experience. In the weeks and days before the flavor, Cardinal Berolin’s critics, including Italian Cardinals, spoke wonderfully about other candidates, including Cardinal Bruce, indicating that supporting Cardinal Parolin was more softening than expected.

But when the white smoke of chimneys spread on the Sistine Church on the second day of the vote, many liberals were concerned that voters were frozen around the Cardinal Parolin, a bureaucratic fear that they would absorb all the fresh air it breathed in the church.

Cardinal Parolin appeared on the balcony, but it is still in red cardinal. He smiled easily, a new Pope background that the liberals believe will protect the Francis legacy.

In October 2024, Cardinal Brevost looked like Francis when he was told Vatican News “The bishop is not supposed to be a small prince sitting in his kingdom, but rather it is rather a humble, and that he is close to the people who serve them, to walk with them and suffer with them.”

Vatican analysts expect Liu to clearly commit to immigrants, the poor and those that have been exploited by the great powers, although they may be less than Francis. It is seen as pastoral, and it is very open to listen to fears of a wide range of Catholics. However, at least at the present time, it is considered that it is likely to make changes in the teaching of the Church on issues such as coordination of women such as smooths, birth control and gay men in the church.

Alberto Meloni, the church historian, said that while Liu was in the Francis template on his vision of the church that approached people and governs more than the base to the top, on hot social issues, “kept his hands free.”

But as Francis showed, people change when they became the Pope: Cardinal was considered conservative in the original Argentina.

In an interview 2023 with Catholic news serviceLiu, who was the Cardinal, stressed that the clergy respond to the problems in their dioceses by thinking about their right “to live and work by communicating with the Holy Father.”

This is now.
