- I had hoped that Pope Francis would canonize Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement and who was my grandfather's cousin. But maybe Pope Leo XIV will get that honor.

In choosing Leo XIV, it seems that former Cardinal Robert Prevost wants to live up to the legacy of Leo XIII, the "Pope of the Workers" who oriented the Church around social justice for the working class.
