He leans more progressive liberal.Generally speaking, people who hold the anti-Trump opinions he tweeted are liberal in general. Very disappointing if so.
He leans more progressive liberal.
Remember what happened to Bishop Strickland?
He's the protégé of Cardinal Cupich of Chicago and was raised to power thanks to Cupich and apparently heavily supported by Cupich (and Cardinal Maradiaga) in the conclave.
Cupich is unabashedly one of the most aggressively liberal and anti-traditionalist leaders among the Latins. Prevost is also most likely tied to the globalist Western oligarchic "deep state."
I would expect the next 6 months to be relatively calm, with statements/headlines like "Oh wow, the pope said it's good to pray. He's such a holy pope." Then after things settle down, they'll start subtly altering things and inserting things into official teachings. Francis will almost certainly be canonized as a saint, solidifying his teachings for future generations. In addition, the Latins in the USA will receive the most aggressively liberal bishop appointments and the Latins' leadership around the world will only promote aggressive liberals (since the pope appoints all bishops in the world since the Gregorian reforms in the West after the schism of 1054). It's hard to see how the Latins recover from this.
Look up Cardinal Cupich's positions on different issues, and these are most likely going to be the official Roman Catholic "magisterium" within the next 5-10 years. Even more, Prevost is young, and his pontificate could last up to 20 years.
The choice of Leo XIV references back to Leo XIII, who was one of the biggest proponents of "Catholic social justice." So, he's basically declaring himself a Social Justice Warrior as one of his first acts as pope.

GO: One of the big developments in this document is the role of women in the church.
We’re talking about a real paradigm shift here. We recognize the fact that women, de facto, carry the life of the church, on so many levels, to make it operational on a day-to-day basis. But I think it’s more than recognizing that; it’s dealing also with how you include women in important decision making, how you place them within the life of the community so that their leadership is regarded, respected and protected.
[The document] talks about different ministries that might be created to do that. I know that there was a lot of discussion about women deacons, and that was not resolved here. But it was very clear that the assembly called for a study and hopefully that we would have the results by the next [synod meeting]. I imagine it’s going to be taken up again.
But it’s not only about [making] everything about women deacons. There has to be another way in which we respect that women bring a particular gift to the life of the church, that if absent, impoverishes the church. How do we take advantage of their gifts and charisms? That’s an agenda that’s not complete yet.
Fun fact: I've met Blaise. I wish it were Pascal, but nothing stood out. Just seemed like a bureaucrat to me, whatever that means, but it's not like most RCs know what's going on. The only ones with a clue are already fairly anti-catholic in that they don't really know what to do with the fact that their church has been obviously on the decline now for hundreds of years, and certainly a progressive mess in the west for several decades (post Vatican II). Those same RCs hate Cupich and yes, it's hard to reconcile all of this when you give such a headline and priority to single people (such as the Pope) - but it's easier to look the other way when it's some random bishop, as historically it hasn't been uncommon for any rogue bishop to be dealt with. Dolan probably would have been better but I think he's actually more conservative. I suspect this might be a "catch them on their heels" plan for a decade or so, just like you are pointing out, Cornelius.Cupich is unabashedly one of the most aggressively liberal and anti-traditionalist leaders among the Latins. Prevost is also most likely tied to the globalist Western oligarchic "deep state."
I'm not sure, but I think you have to believe that until proven otherwise. What's good about him being in the same vein of subverting most with social justice? More people will come to Orthodoxy.So, he's basically declaring himself a Social Justice Warrior as one of his first acts as pope.
Below is @BishStrickland’s real-time reaction to the newly elected Pope Leo XIV (former Cardinal Robert Prevost) on @glennbeck’s show today.
“As head of the Congregation for Bishops, frankly, in my opinion, he [Cardinal Prevost] made some really bad choices there,” His Excellency told Beck. “He was involved in naming bishops that I find very troubling, so we’ll have to keep praying.”
Bishop Strickland also finds the new pope’s name “very interesting,” specifically in reference to Leo XIII’s famous vision and the St. Michael Prayer he composed as a result.
