Las Vegas – Pope Liu XIV is an unpretentious listener with the “humility of disarmament” who will try to find a common ground with world leaders, including President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, the Catholics known as the Cardinal Robert F. Privost in Chicago.
“The impression that I am in our conversation was that he was listening,” said Sister Margaret Oberovak, who recently concluded in the Vatican Secretariat in the country.
She and Cardinal at the time were “very useful and very useful theological discussion” while the late Pope Francis was accompanied on a trip in September 2024 to Belgium and Luxembourg.
“It was an unofficial conversation, and we have just told some of the deepest issues in that conversation,” said Saint Paul Nun's daughters.
Although Obrovac did not explain in detail these “deeper issues”, the new Pope, 69 -year -old Augustine, until Thursday, headed the Vatican Dixri bishops, has really heard her comments.
She said: “He searched for what he could agree with and what he can, and then be able to guarantee him in a way that was enlightened for me as well.”
While Obrovac said she “does not know if he remembers” their conversation, Liu's approach to admiration.
“If he can bring it to the papacy, and I think he will do that, we can look at a church that will be more compatible, if we are ready to be accurate, if we are ready to enlighten by another person and we only have an echo room for our own ideas, then I think this means that this means that it is not concrete,” she explained.
Las Vegas Archbishop George Thomas, who spent 90 minutes with Liu during a visit in 2023 to Rome, remembers the cleric who advanced in the Episcopal Nevada to the rank of Metropolitan, but also promoted him to the rank of head of bishops.
“He is a man who had a great and powerful influence during the administration of Pope Francis, but he does not wear this image of power at the General Forum,” said Thomas.
When they met lunch in the Vatican, Thomas did not even know that he was eating with a high -level Vikkan official.
“His dress and behavior was more guided by the Archdiocese priest who would come to present his congratulations to me, and soon I discovered through the players who surrounded me that this is the conservative of the group of bishops,” Thomas recalls in an interview over the phone.
The Catholic leader in Las Vegas said that Liu's low style will make his fingerprints with Trump and others on the world stage-even after the ink has strengthened online criticism for the President's policies for years.
“I think Pope Liu will bring modesty of disarmament on the table immediately, and the weakness that, at least, has the ability to open the doors,” said Thomas. “It brings intellectual ingenuity to the table as well. I know he deeply committed to the power of dialogue and persuading dialectical dictates.”
Reverend James Martin, the Jesuit, who was close to Francis, believes that the experience of the new ink is a missionary in Peru and the head of the Order of St. Augustine – as well as the destruction of the Dixry Bishops – will serve Liu well in his new role.
Martin wrote on X. “I know that he is on the ground, a good man, modest, reserved, working hard, decisive, not afraid to talk about his mind. It is a great choice.”
