Pope Leo will above all be a bridge-builder, the author of the first book about the new pontiff published in Ireland has predicted.
In Christ We Are One: Pope Leo XIV at the Service of Humanity is by Michael Kelly [pictured above], a well-known Vatican expert, former editor of The Irish Catholic and current Director of Public Affairs for the papal charity Aid to the Church in Need, Ireland.
“One of the titles of the Pope is ‘Supreme Pontiff’ – which means the chief bridge-builder,” Mr Kelly pointed out. “Pope Leo will be first and foremost be a bridge builder in the Church. He has shown this in his early days with his ease in the office, and the commitment he has made to be a good listener”.
