The article discusses the challenges faced by newly appointed Pope Leo XIV in dealing with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) following a 2018 deal between the Vatican and the CCP that has been criticized for giving too much authority to the CCP.

Critics argue that this has led to the erosion of papal authority and the potential demise of the Catholic Church in China. Pope Leo XIV has highlighted the church's fight against rising atheism in his first homily.

The article discusses Pope Leo XIV, the first US-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church, and his complex family history, which reflects the country's fraught relationship with race and immigration. Genealogists have uncovered records showing that the Pope's maternal grandfather was born in the Dominican Republic or Haiti, while his grandmother was born in New Orleans to parents married in a local Catholic church. The family was identified as Black in the 1900 census but later as white in the 1920 census, possibly due to strategic identity shifting to assimilate in Chicago.
