Pope Leo XIV gestures during an audience to representatives of the media, at Paul-VI hall in The Vatican, on May 12, 2025.
 

Is the pope Catholic? Left pushes him to ignore church teachings.

Black smoke rises from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel, indicating no decision has been made to elect a new pope, at the Vatican, May 8, 2025.
 

I was sexually abused by a priest. Pope must confront church's past.

President Joe Biden in Detroit on May 19, 2024.

President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin attend an international summit in Helsinki on July 16, 2018.
 

Time to push, Mr. President. Trump should press Putin hard on Ukraine.
