Pope Leo XIV has called for "clear teaching" in a message to the bishops of Latin America. But what does that phrase mean in practice? The latest episode of Faith & Reason examines Leo's decision to highlight figures associated with liberation theology and Marxist political movements as examples for Latin American bishops to study and emulate. The context, the hosts argue, changes how his call for clarity should be understood.

The episode also addresses Leo's reported decision to exclude the Roman Canon from all papal Masses during his upcoming visit to France, an omission the hosts characterize as significant, highlighting the growing divide between the traditional Roman Mass and the post-conciliar liturgy. Other controversies include the appointment of a new auxiliary bishop in New York, with questions about his political donations and public statements.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò criticizes Pope Leo's direction, asserting that the Francis-era agenda has been intensified rather than slowed. Bishop Joseph Strickland rebukes a Vatican interreligious dialogue document, warning that dialogue could overshadow evangelization and the Church's call to preach the Gospel. The pattern is clear: "clear teaching" means one thing in Rome, and something very different in the hands of the bishops tasked with applying it. The question is whether the faithful will recognize the difference before it is too late.
