Inside the Mind of Pope Leo XIV with Papal Biographer Elise Allen

Who is Pope Leo XIV—and what kind of leader will he be? In this episode of Guestsplaining, Fr. Patrick Briscoe welcomes Vatican journalist Elise Allen to discuss her new biography of the Holy Father.

Drawing from personal encounters and exclusive interviews, Elise offers a behind-the-scenes look at the life, spirituality, and leadership of the first American pope. From missionary work in Peru to leadership in Rome, Pope Leo XIV brings a combination of pastoral care, global perspective, and Augustinian spirituality to his role as the "Servant of the Servants of God."

What does all this mean for the Church today? Watch the full episode to hear Elise Allen shed light on his background, his approach to unity and Church reform, what sets him apart from previous popes, and more.
