On Sunday, May 18, Pope Leo XIV will officially commence his papal reign with an Inaugural Mass in Saint Peter’s Square, a moment that promises to be both ceremonial and symbolic.

While Pope Leo XIV has already engaged in various ceremonial duties since his election, he’ll have to wait until after this Sunday’s Mass to wield any real influence over Vatican policy. It’s a curious tradition, as if the church insists on a dramatic pause before the new leader can take the wheel.

This week, Pope Leo XIV has drawn impressive crowds during public appearances, basking in adoration from the faithful. It’s a stark contrast to the silence that followed the passing of Pope Francis, as noted by War Room’s Ben Harnwell, who pointed out the lack of mourners in Saint Peter’s Square during that time.

In a world where the faithful are often divided, Pope Leo XIV has a unique opportunity to reignite passion among millions of Catholics who felt disenchanted with Pope Francis’s embrace of non-traditional stances. The question remains: will he steer the ship toward more traditional waters, or will he chart a new course?

However, before Pope Leo XIV can begin to carve out his papal path, he must partake in time-honored Vatican traditions, which include the presentation of the Fisherman’s Ring and the Pallium. These symbols—reflecting Saint Peter’s humble beginnings as a fisherman and Christ’s title as the Good Shepherd—are essential to the papal regalia and his identity as the spiritual leader of the Catholic Church.

Meanwhile, preparations for Pope Leo XIV’s transition into the Apostolic Palace are underway. This establishment, previously shunned by Pope Francis, is being readied for the new Pope’s arrival, which is expected to take about seven weeks, according to Catholic Satellite.

As foreign dignitaries and worshipers finalize their plans to attend the Inaugural Mass, Pope Leo XIV is busy laying out his vision for the papacy to both fellow Cardinals and the media. In a bold move, he has already called for an end to conflicts in Israel and Ukraine, while also advocating for the release of imprisoned journalists worldwide—a clear signal of his priorities.

According to , Pope Leo XIV is perceived as a centrist within the Catholic Church, striking a balance between progressive social initiatives and doctrinal conservatism, as reported by the College of Cardinals Report. This positioning raises an intriguing question: will his reign lean more toward centrist pragmatism, left-leaning reform, or traditionalist adherence?

History has shown us that the dynamics of high office can shape the individual who occupies it just as much as the occupant can influence the office itself. Thus, we find ourselves at a crossroads—waiting to see whether Pope Leo XIV will emerge as a transformative leader or simply a caretaker of the status quo.
