Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich said the selection of Pope Leo XIV fits into the current political landscape, especially when considering the Trump administration.

       “I think he’s going to help complete and complement our political agenda. He’ll talk a lot about the immigrations, as well, because he knows about the sufferings of people and the real needs that they have for a better life,” Cupich said Sunday to ‘This Week’ co-anchor Martha Raddatz. “And he knows too that people in Oceanu, for instance, where the -- the rising sea levels are just -- getting -- overwhelming those islands, where people are trying to escape, he sees the drug trade that’s happening in Central and South America where there are weapons from the United States going there. He knows that those people need an option. And he’ll call for, I think, as the bishops have in the United States, fixing this broken immigration system.”
