Leon Runs a U.S.-Style Government in the Vatican, Even During Health Crises
- On Friday, Pope Leo XIV conducted diplomatic business from the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic, speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin to call for a ceasefire in Oleshky while recovering from lung cancer surgery.
- Unlike Pope Francis, who often governed alone and shunned medical advice, Pope Leo XIV applies American-style corporate governance to the Catholic Church, prioritizing transparency and expert medical counsel.
- Physicians Dr. Luigi Carbone and Dr. Stefano Margaritora sign daily medical bulletins regarding Leo's recovery, providing authoritative information with a degree of accountability that has long been anathema to the Vatican.
- Intrigue surrounds Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, who recently claimed Leo's pontificate may have to be 'adjusted,' and was notably absent from Vatican officials who visited the Pope on Friday.
- Julie Rubio, a professor of Christian social ethics at Santa Clara University, identifies this transparency as a best practice for institutions, noting inclusive governance visible in Leo's artificial intelligence encyclical aims to make the church less clerical.
