#12187 Why Leo XIV? What the New Pope’s Name Might Be Telling Us - William Albrecht

Listen Later

Why did the new pope choose the name Leo XIV? In this episode, we explore the possible historical, theological, and symbolic significance of the name “Leo”—from Leo the Great to Leo XIII—and what it might reveal about the new pope’s priorities, vision, and identity. Karlo Broussard also discusses whether this signals a moderate papacy and how the choice reflects on the Church’s current moment.
