Part II of our Pope Leo Deep Dive is here!.The future pope’s years in Peru shaped his ministry and vision—but few know the brutal reality he faced in the ’80s and ’90s. This was the most illuminating discovery for me during over a month of reporting.

Father Robert Prevost’s early years in Peru shaped his ministry and vision for the church—but few know the brutal reality he encountered there in the 1980s and 1990s.

Some frame this conclave as a choice: progressive pope (again) vs. traditionalist. Is that the right binary? The real question may be whether the church again chooses a pope shaped by religious vows—Francis was the first in 167 years. My @americamag piece:.

Pope Francis taught the church that the magisterium finds its clarity not merely in propositions but in acts of mercy.
