Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, the new Pope Leo XIV, is expected to follow Francis' reforms, but he was chosen to calm tensions in the Catholic Church, according to theologian and social scientist Brenda Carranza, a professor of Religious Sciences at the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences (IFCH) at Unicamp.
“The Pope came to create a process of appeasement within the Church. Moral issues and the Church’s openness to progressive agendas may have to wait a little longer, because it will be necessary to recompose the entire drive for renewal promoted by Pope Francis within the Roman Curia,” Carranza analyzes.
