A papacy against populism? That is a terrible idea - spiked

So is Pope Leo XIV woke or right-wing? Is he a Marxist in holy robes come to slay Trumpism or a traditionalist and a ‘transphobe’ who’s about to break every Catholic lefty’s heart? Will his papacy please Turning Point’s virgins in their ill-fitting suits or put a smile on the faces of the blue-haired people? The internet almost buckled under the weight of such panicked queries yesterday. And it was a truly sorry spectacle. Rarely has the frivolity and neediness of the digital left and digital right been so starkly exposed than by this frantic yearning for the new pontiff to add some spiritual weight to their political campaigns.
