Father Alar to Newsmax: Pope Leo’s First Days Notable for Measured Tone

Pope Leo’s first 100 days in office have been notable for their measured and deliberate tone, Father Chris Alar, provincial superior of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, told Newsmax Saturday.

Speaking on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America,” Alar said Pope Leo has “chosen to listen to dialogue and continue this continuity from the previous Popes. And so, yes, he’s addressed issues like Ukraine, the environment, and the youth have been very important.”

Alar highlighted the Pope’s multilingual abilities and his uplifting message of hope, noting that recent surveys rank Pope Leo’s popularity above that of 14 major world leaders.
