The unexpectedly wide majorities that the Democratic Party will hold in both houses of the next Congress are amplifying calls to hold the Trump administration accountable for abuses of power and corruption, with inquiries into everything from President Donald Trump’s windfall of $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency to his son’s wedding celebration being bankrolled by a Russian oligarch to the ethically questionable conduct of Elon Musk.
“I am returning to my homeland,” Pope Leo XIV said at the Gran Teatro Nacional del Peru, in Lima, the capital city of this majority-Catholic nation of 37 million people, on the evening of Nov. 11. “I am very pleased to be back in Peru,” he continued, speaking to an audience composed of Peru’s civil and religious authorities, as well as representatives of its business and cultural communities, and the diplomatic corps.
Amid the ferment and tumult in the Catholic Church in the years following the Second Vatican Council, a number of the council’s theological consultants (periti) became figures of note in their own right, at least among Catholics with a close or vested interest in the council and its implementation. Readers of America are likely to be familiar with many of their names: Murray, Rahner, Ratzinger, de Lubac, Congar, Häring, Baum, Küng.

Some carried flags or wore matching shirts identifying their communities; others brought little more than backpacks, water and the determination to secure a place near the evening’s centerpiece, the Monumento de los Españoles.
