Pope Leo XIV can minister to world desperate for spiritual healing

A new pope personifies a fresh take on ancient values that will be transmitted to the faithful in every corner of the earth .

A great deal of interest will be focused on Pope Leo ’s political orientation.

Historically, popes have been churchmen rather than God-men. Times have changed. Institutions are where we gather in a time of dispersion..

Frida Ghitis : The last thing we need is for spirituality to be updated, modernized, “made relevant” to our alienated souls.

She says technology has built a brave new world but the human condition is old.

Ghitis hopes Pope Leo will excel not in power but in spirit, Ghitis writes.
