Why did Vanity Fair include Pope Leo XIV on its exclusive annual list of the architects of the new power?

Leo’s influence is of another kind.

The preparations for the November 8–11 apostolic visit are now moving into a more practical phase. The Argentine bishops’ conference has launched the official website for the trip, providing information about the scheduled celebrations, meetings and participation requirements. From October 8, pilgrims and volunteers will be able to register, while journalists and media organizations will receive information about accreditation.
