Popes choose their own name based on the saint they’d like to model during their service. Pope Leo XIV took his name from St. Leo the Great, a Roman Catholic Pope who famously met with Attila the Hun and the Vandals to prevent them from destroying Rome.
I’d say that’s a pretty good sign.
Are there really enough transphobic vegans to constitute a society? It’s not just, like, the two of them? There’s zero overlap in ideology. It’s like a Spanophile hikers club.
