Augustinian colleague describes leadership style of Pope Leo (CNA)

Bishop Luis Marín de San Martín, an Augustinian who has worked closely with Pope Leo, describes the new Pope’s working style as communal and synodal.

“He’s not a person who governs from his office; he goes out to meet people,” says Bishop Marin, who is now the undersecretary of the Synod of Bishops. He also said that Pope Leo is a son of Vatican II:

He embraces its theological development, above all, the ecclesiology of the constitution Lumen Gentium, which is a point of reference for synodality—although the term does not appear in it.
