- This year, Pope Leo XIV intervened in a U.S. abortion dispute, raising a seeming contradiction over 'pro-life' and urging Catholics to search together as church teaching is clear.
- Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich planned a Nov. 3 award for Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and defended honoring him for his pro-immigration work despite objections from conservative U.S. bishops amid U.S. polarization.
- Pope Leo XIV said the label 'pro‑life' should include opposition to the death penalty, stating `Someone who says 'I’m against abortion but says I am in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life`.
