Vatican sees rising US influence under Pope León XIV
The Vatican is experiencing a growing influence from the United States under the leadership of Pope León XIV, the first American pope. This trend is characterized by a series of high-level appointments and the consolidation of political, academic, and economic networks often linked to conservative Catholic organizations.
Key appointments include María Montserrat Alvarado, a Mexican-American, who will serve as the director of the Dicastery for Communication starting November 1. Additionally, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone and Bishop Edward Lohse have been elected to the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura.
In the realm of human development, the Pope has appointed new consultants to the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, including individuals with ties to the United States such as Emmanuel Katongole, Kathryn A. Koch, and Clemens Sedmak. Furthermore, the Legionaries of Christ, an organization under Holy See authority, recently appointed three Americans to its six general counselor positions.
