When Pope Francis assumed leadership in 2013, many American Catholics anticipated his focus on inclusivity and ministry to marginalized communities would revitalize the church. Instead, his progressive approach galvanized conservative Catholics, strengthening resistance among the American church hierarchy, elected officials, and congregants. “Pope Francis changed all that,”
