Analyst expects Pope Leo's papacy to be 'a mix' of old and new
Pope Leo's papacy could be a mix of a continuation of his predecessor's policies and a return to more traditional aspects of the position, an analyst said on Sunday, May 18, as Leo was officially installed as the head of the world's Catholics in a Mass in the Vatican.
Vatican expert and author Philip Pullella said Sunday's celebration was slightly different than previous inaugural Masses as the main members of the clergy — cardinals, nuns and even laity — "pledged their obedience to him."
Pullella said he expects Leo to continue on the discourse of Pope Francis, who died on April 21 after leading the Church for 12 years, in terms of human rights, migrants and other social issues. But he said Leo had signaled a return to more traditional aspects of the papacy, including on vestments.
