Bishop explains meaning behind new pope’s ‘very intriguing’ papal name

The American author, speaker and the theologian Robert Baron was in the Vatican this week to see the election of the new Pope, and shared his ideas with Fox News Digital about the new papal name Robert Robert Robert.

Pontifical names are often very symbolic in terms of how the Pope works as the leader of the Catholic Church. The Pope usually chooses the names of the predecessors who like or want to simulate. Prevost eventually went with Liu XIII in honor of Pope Liu XIII, who served from 1878 to 1903.

“It was possible that Francis II, and we had said,“ Oh, there was clearly in the Francis line. ”John Paul III could have been, then we thought,“ Oh, he was in this most conservative line. ”Baron said that John was twenty -fourth, and we say,“ Oh, he is now a real revolutionary liberal, etc. ”. And the pivotal … our new Pope was saying, I also, I want a very important association with the modern world, not just “no”, but also not just “yes”, and not just compensation. “

Baron pointed out that Leo XIII was a pivotal figure because of the timing of his reign, which came during a moment when the church was competing with the enormous political and philosophical turmoil in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, such as the French and American revolutions, and the introduction of philosophies like the boat.

“The first church reaction [to these changes] It was very negative. It was great “no” for modernity. By the end of the nineteenth century, I believe, with a certain distance and a certain intelligence, the Church was ready to enter more, called it, creative participation with modernity. And I think Pope Liu 13th is exactly that. ”

Bishop referred to Rerum Novarum to enhance his point of view, an encyclopedic message issued by Pope Liu XII in 1891.

“In that document, [Leo XII] “Well, there is” no “,” not “the great property of private property and the market economy.” At the same time, in the same message, [Leo XII] It comes out strongly in favor of the right to form unions. It comes out strongly in favor of what we call the global destination of goods. “

“In fact, Pope Liu says in that message, as soon as the requirements of necessity and validity in your life are met, follow the rest of what the poor possess,” Baron continued. “This is not just a standard, boring and dominant view. This is a somewhat revolutionary statement. But note the beautiful balance in that message between“ yes ”to private property, and arrogance“ no ”to socialism and Marxism, but the great“ yes ”to the global destination of goods. Liu puts the tone in this way for the rest of the Catholic social education that followed.”

In conclusion, Parron said he believed that Leo XIV makes the new Pope a “interesting player” in terms of discussion between the right and the left in politics.

“[Leo XVI] Baron said: “It does not fit-I said this 1000 times-he is and other great actors of the Catholic social education do not fit with our left and right groups. They do not fit with the Democratic Republicans, they are in a place that goes beyond those differences. Therefore, I think this may be more interesting than him.”
