Imagine that. The pope out here handing out paid leave while American CEOs are still arguing over whether workers deserve bathroom breaks.
Leo didn’t need a PR crisis or a shareholder revolt to do it. He just acted like the people working for him are… people. That’s the kind of leadership that makes Wall Street squirm because it proves compassion isn’t incompatible with power — it’s just incompatible with greed.
If the Vatican can figure out how to give parents time to bond with a newborn or care for a disabled child, maybe the richest nation on earth should stop pretending it’s impossible.
"Military service members already may take 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a new child, and under this bill, 2.1 million civilian federal workers also will be able to take paid leave to care for a new baby after birth, adoption or the start of foster care."
The article specifically states that it is paid leave. The GAO also makes it clear that it's paid leave. Why are you trying to deceive people?
What a wonderful example of leadership. This is a man who sees the people around him and knows their burdens. Catholic Social Teaching has always upheld the basic rights of the worker yet the Church and her affiliated institutions have not always followed her teachings. What Pope Leo did is refreshing!
The article above is dishonest. While it's great that these benefits are happening for Vatican employees, and I wish more American parents had truly great benefits, the paternity leave is actually insignificant compared to what is found at many U.S. corporations. Netflix gives a full year of paid parental leave (father or mother).
X (formerly Twitter) gives new parents between two weeks to 16 weeks of paid leave, depending on circumstances. It's less than they gave a few years ago, but still better than most organizations. (I'm not saying that Elon Musk is a better person than the pope, he isn't, not even close, but it's just a fact that workers at his social media company get better parental leave benefits than workers at the Vatican do).
Also, Trump did sign a bill increasing paid parental leave. When Hale says otherwise he's just lying.

I wonder when some MAGA jerk will start calling the Pope a Communist???
Actually, Trump did expand paid parental leave. Hale is just lying, again.

If you read it …it’s unpaid leave…the Pope is issuing paid leave. Big difference.

This is what true leadership. It is faith in action. Love never fails.

Very refreshing! Thank you, Pope Leo for being a light in the darkness ✨️ 🙏
Leo is a beacon of light to help us see in the darkness trying to surround us! Thank you Pope Leo for understanding and caring.
