Did the election of Pope Leo XIV usher in a more politically vocal Vatican? Our hosts critically examine the new Pope's past criticisms of political figures, including the Trump administration, and explore the controversial role of religious leaders in direct political commentary. We delve into the historical precedents, the delicate balance of church-state separation, and the potential for alienating segments of the Catholic population and the wider public.
