""Quiet American is an oxymoron for most people, at least those outside the United States.""
""Just because Leo's papacy has been quiet doesn't mean he hasn't been busy.""
""A culture still persists-sometimes well disguised-that discards others without even realizing it," Leo wrote, "and tolerates with indifference that millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings.""
Pope Leo XIV's first six months have been notably quiet despite enthusiastic support at his election. The papacy has maintained a low public profile while pursuing substantive initiatives. Leo convened technology leaders to address AI threats to human dignity. He gave an extended interview that reaffirmed Church teaching on human sexuality while expressing commitment to welcome LGBTQ Catholics. He repeatedly called for peace in Ukraine and the Middle East. He issued the teaching document Dilexi Te emphasizing Christ's love for the poor and condemning the unrestrained pursuit of wealth. The restrained public posture carries risks but may better serve American Catholics now.
