Your editorial, “A welcome vessel for change” (May 12), refers.

It’s amusing how everyone on earth with an axe to grind is finding ways to claim the new pope (who’s said precisely nothing about anything so far) as part of their ideological camp.

While I am sure the Catholic Church has much to do sorting out internal challenges, I find it hard to believe that Christ’s so-called vicar on earth will, this time, manage to be so silent on the slaughter of Christians around the world — once again at historically significant levels.

Leo and the Left’s orange monster might have more in common than the chatterati think.
