Letters from Leo Publisher. Catholic. 2020 nominee for Congress in rural TN & DNC Delegate. Obama-Biden White House & campaign alum. Pope Leo tweeted me once.
NEW: Pope Leo XIV is promising to move forward with the excommunication of a right-wing schismatic group if it consecrates bishops without his permission on July 1.
“We must move forward,” the first U.S.-born pontiff says.
The group is fighting back.
Today it took its case to the cardinals on the eve of this week's consistory, insisting it is no “group of nostalgics.”
Leo has made clear he won't back down.
