VIDEO: LifeSite News John-Henry Westen reacts to election of Leo XIV

What kind of "American Catholic" is the just-elected Pope Leo XIV? LifeSite News' John-Henry Westen clues us in, in this video entitled "Leo XIV an anti-Trump American, who urged invalid Confession by phone during COVID?"

 

After you've watched the video, scroll down to our earlier post, with a long and trenchant commentary on Cardinal Prevost's previous actions and expressed opinions. He might well have chosen the name Francis II!

Worth reading (even though it's from the secular press): "Expect Pope Leo XIV to bring more liberal controversy", by Michael Higgins, National Post, 8/5/25. Key takeaway: "With any new pope, you never know what you will really get. Only time will tell. But Leo XIV looks a lot like Francis II." As Walt and so many others have said.
