Pope Francis has appointed Cardinal Robert McElroy to head the Washington DC Archdiocese.

By placing McElroy in D.C., Francis is once again taking more than the usual interest in American politics. In September 2024, the pope said American Catholics should choose the “lesser of two evils” when voting for president. By choosing McElroy, who holds a doctorate in political science from Stanford University as well as a doctorate in moral theology from the Gregorian in Rome, the pope is clearly showing that he does not want a sycophant in the role.
