NEW: The Wall Street Journal’s Gerard Baker, writing about Pope Leo XIV’s trip to France this week, called him “the one man in the world most of us can look up to.” After 800,000 in Paris, the case that Leo is the leader of the free world has never been stronger.

Pope Leo XIV Is the Leader of the Free World
Eighty-two years after his father landed at Normandy, the American pope drew 800,000 people to the Champs-Élysées and asked Europe to hold together. Washington left the job open, and Leo took it.

On a whirlwind first day in Paris, Pope Leo XIV delivered what may become a magna carta of his pontificate, a half-hour address at UNESCO given mostly in English, so the world would hear him call war “the most terrible of ‘human works.’”

Peter Thiel is lashing out at the pope because he is Thiel’s worst fear. Leo deals in a currency he doesn’t understand. There’s no election, no impeachment, no indictment, no deportation order, no tariff that touches him. His authority comes from somewhere Thiel has no instrument to reach.
