In this episode of Real Living, hosts Lavinia Spirito and Mary Lou Nemecek discuss the newly elected Pope Leo the 14th, including his unexpected American heritage and the significance of his chosen name. They draw parallels to Pope Leo the 13th, who addressed modernism and industrial challenges in the 20th century while devoting the century to the Holy Spirit. The conversation covers the historical impact of the Holy Spirit on the Pentecostal movement, Pope Leo the 13th's encyclical on social justice, and the new challenges Pope Leo the 14th will face in the age of artificial intelligence and immediate communication. They also emphasize the importance of prayer and caution against misinformation in the digital age.
