I'm curious whether Pope Leo is following this Substack and/or has interacted with Christopher about it. I hope he likes it!

He hasn't! I hope he reads it along with all the other great content out there.

The things you said about Pope Francis were cruel. He was a loving, kind, compassionate man and Pope. God rest his soul

I certainly haven’t meant to be cruel towards Francis. As I’ve highlighted again and again, I love him.

Could you perhaps point in the piece where you think I was cruel towards him?https://www.newsweek.com/what-i-saw-felt-pope-francis-funeral-opinion-2064576

Christopher, I believe Eileen’s comment wasn’t directed at you but at Alfred White’s comment immediately prior to hers.

Thank you Christopher. I am grateful for the work you are doing. I think Pope Leo is the light that the world needs today. I will continue to share your work. So many have lost the ability to listen.

I am grateful to Pope Leo for two things: unlike his immediate predecessor he dresses properly in public and, again unlike his immediate predecessor, he doesn't have an uncontrollable itch to make off-the-cuff remarks about everything in front of everyone. Forgive me if that sounds uncharitable.
