Pope Leo XIV was formally inaugurated as the successor of Peter in a Mass May 18 in St. Peter’s Square. Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori was among the concelebrants of the Mass, and he shares his reflections about being there for the historic event, and his hopes for the future of the church with Pope Leo. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty also talks with Matthew Bunson, vice president and editorial director of EWTN about his presence in Rome since the death of Pope Francis and the new biography of Pope Leo he wrote, published now by EWTN.
