#Pope Leo XIV

The Vatican has excommunicated six bishops from the ultraconservative Society of St Pius X after the group defied Pope Leo XIV by consecrating four new bishops, deepening a rift that began in 1988.

In his first year, Pope Leo XIV defies expectations and uses his American roots to challenge U.S. policies.

Pope Leo XIV appoints Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, once an undocumented immigrant, as Bishop of West Virginia, influencing US immigration debates.
