CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Luis Marín de San Martín, an Augustinian who has worked closely with Pope Leo, describes the new Pope’s working style as communal and synodal.
“He’s not a person who governs from his office; he goes out to meet people,” says Bishop Marin, who is now the undersecretary of the Synod of Bishops. He also said that Pope Leo is a son of Vatican II:
He embraces its theological development, above all, the ecclesiology of the constitution Lumen Gentium, which is a point of reference for synodality—although the term does not appear in it.The above note supplements, highlights, or corrects details in the original source (link above).
