Habemus Papam! That’s the focus of our expanded Special Issue on our new Holy Father, Leo XIV, for July-August 2025. Join Editor-in-Chief Robert Moynihan as he chronicles from Rome the conclave process and how the College of Cardinals arrived at this surprising choice of the first American Pope. Then we give you a glimpse of Pope Leo’s first days as the 265th occupant of the Chair of Peter, his words and actions — giving you some insight into what kind of Pope Leo might be going forward. And we set all this within a context, including a short history of the changing role of the papacy by Darrick Taylor and commentary by Phil Lawler on why the cardinals chose as they did.
