Father Leo discusses Pope Leo XIV’s recent appointments of Bishop-elect Evelio Menjivar Ayala in West Virginia and Bishop-elect Robert Boxie III in Washington, DC. He examines whether the appointments are meant as an anti-Trump political message or whether the media is reducing Catholic leadership to partisan narratives. The episode explores immigration, race, DEI, Catholic pastoral leadership, and the deeper spiritual role of bishops in forming the faithful. Father Leo argues that bishops should not be judged only through politics, identity, or media framing, but through their mission to lead souls to Jesus Christ. He also calls Catholics to pray for new bishops, seek balance, resist division, and allow holiness to shape the Church’s witness.
