When Pope Leo XIV was elected in May 2025, the first American-born pope and the first Augustinian friar to lead the Church, @VillanovaU became the first American university to claim a sitting pontiff as an alumnus. Since then the world has had questions about his priorities, his travels and what his papacy means for the Church and beyond. Villanova has answered by putting its scholars front and center. Its Papacy Experts hub brings together faculty in theology, law, sociology and Augustinian studies, including Massimo Faggioli, Michael Moreland, Ilia Delio and Tia Noelle Pratt. They offer: → Timely insight into Pope Leo's travels and the challenges of his second year → Thoughtful answers to the questions people are asking about this papacy → Commentary already trusted by NPR, CNN, the Associated Press, the Financial Times and America Magazine It's a model of how a university can serve journalists, students, alumni and the faithful alike: by making its expertise easy to find at the moment the world is paying attention. Congratulations to the Villanova team. Take a look in the video below. Link in the comments. #Villanova #PopeLeoXIV #HigherEd #CatholicHigherEd
