Provost’s choice of Leo as regnal name means he will be a “Francis II”

Editor’s Note: Many thanks to Rasa, one of the readers of FromRome.Info for reminding me a Franciscan, of what I should never have forgotten: that the most faithful follower of Saint Francis was Brother Leo.  So by taking the name Leo, Cardinal Provost is intending to signal, at least to us Franciscans, that he will be a faithful follower of Pope Francis.

Credits: Jan von Eyck’s, “The Stigmatization of Saint Francis”, which shows Brother Leo sleeping, in a black habit, while Saint Francis receives the Stigmata of Christ from the Seraphim.

  1. They delight in speaking in code and symbols and revealing their evil intent in advance.

  2. For example. regnal name choice could be allusion to Pope Leo XIII’s famous vision of Satan, demonic spirits, who were gathering on the Eternal City to destroy the Church.
