What is Letters from Leo?
Letters from Leo is your front-row seat to the most consequential papacy of the digital age. As Pope Leo XIV reshapes the global Church’s role in politics, technology, and morality, this newsletter traces how his words reverberate through American life—from Capitol Hill to Silicon Valley.
Every week, I unpack Leo’s boldest moves, speeches, and silences — placing them in context with U.S. politics, cultural wars, and the global battle over AI, faith, and power.

Who writes this?
I’m a political operative and writer who ran Catholic outreach for President Obama’s 2012 campaign. I’ve advised campaigns, nonprofits, and faith-based coalitions on how religion and public life shape one another. I created Letters from Leo because I believe this papacy is not only a spiritual event — it’s a global political moment.
But most importantly, I’m a struggling Catholic who has found meaning, mercy, and redeeming love in the faith of the apostles.
