In a move that has disappointed traditionalists hoping for a restoration of Catholic orthodoxy, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Sister Murray, a religious sister known for her openness to women's ordination and support for LGBTQ causes, as a consultant to the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life. This appointment signals that the progressive direction of the Francis era may continue, rather than the shift toward traditional Catholic priorities that many had anticipated.
Adding to the concern, a bishop appointed by Pope Leo has suppressed the diocesan Traditional Latin Mass in Pittsburgh. While a new monthly Latin Mass has been established in San Angelo, Texas, its location just five minutes from an SSPX chapel suggests it may be an attempt to counter the influence of the Society of St. Pius X rather than a genuine expansion of the traditional rite.
The tension is unmistakable: expectations of a traditional pontificate are colliding with appointments and decisions that tell a different story. The Latin Mass remains under pressure, progressive voices remain in power, and the faithful are left to question whether Pope Leo is truly the defender of tradition they hoped for, or something else entirely. The evidence so far points to a pontificate that is more complicated than traditionalists expected, and the direction is not yet clear.
