Once more, I listened gratefully to biblical concepts being uncompromisingly stated in the European Parliament building, including that human dignity derived solely from the understanding of humanity as created in God’s image.

To identify the entire evangelical community with certain political movements or with media images from the United States is not only unfair, but deeply misguided.

When the Pope spoke about freedom of conscience in Madrid, he forgot to mention that the Roman Catholic Church has been its greatest enemy for centuries.

Three big events in Spain, Catholic, evangelical, and Pentecostal, and their sometimes unintended consequences.

The encyclical has little sense of the tragedy of sin, sees the gospel as a process in which nature is made more perfect and justifies the Church's role as a mediator between man and God.

Both the left and the right applauded Leo XIV's speech, in an unprecedented event in recent Spanish history.

Since becoming Leo XIV, Pope Prevost hinted at his desire to build on Leo XIII’s legacy by updating the Social Doctrine of the Church on the pressing concern of today: how to deal with Artificial Intelligence (AI) without succumbing the human person to it.

Evangelicals do not seem to be on Pope Leo’s radar, aside from a few indirect critical remarks between the lines of his speeches in Cameroon and Angola.

The Roman Catholic Church attracts different people for different reasons. This simple fact has always been true. However, recent trends in global religious and political affairs are unfolding a new chapter of this old narrative.

Evangelicals should study the inner dynamics of Rome that allows it to change but not reform itself according to Scripture.

For Evangelical Christians, 2033 will be an opportunity to celebrate the gospel truths. However, ecumenical celebrations will not be neutral and at no cost for evangelical fidelity.

The exaltation of the Virgin Mary in certain Catholic contexts re-opens the internal debate. Evangelical theologian Leonardo De Chirico in Rome analyses the ‘pendulum’ of the last three centuries and rules out a profound reform of Marianism.

Roman Catholic Mariology always involves a thick doctrinal commitment to the full account of how Rome theologizes, celebrates, and venerates Mary. An analysis from Rome.

A circular sent from the Ministry of Education encourages public schools to participate in the Pope's events. The Italian Evangelical Alliance denounces a clear violation of the freedom of conscience of pupils.

Roman Catholicism is a formidable religious aggregator, and its “doctors” are all pieces of its theological puzzle. Why Newman? Here are two possible reasons.

Soldiers and family members of fallen heroes, chaplains, public figures, representatives of churches and religious organisations, were joined at the national breakfast by some 350 invited foreign guests. 

The week of July 28 to August 3, Rome was filled with groups of young people from all over the world. I followed in particular the meetings of Roman Catholic influencers, the Italian and North American groups, and the final vigil with the Pope.

There is an expectation that Pope Leo will be able to exert an attraction from Protestantism towards Roman Catholicism in American society. 

The question continues to resurface in evangelical circles: “Is the Catholic gospel the same as the biblical gospel?” 

Prevost, still under 70, is a “young” pope with the possibility of a long pontificate. The conclave didn’t choose a bridge, it chose direction.

The European Evangelical Alliance also emphasises in a statement that “true spiritual unity is found only in the biblical Gospel”.

What is it that turns news professionals accustomed to questioning political and religious leaders into mere ‘fans’ when they travel to Rome to meet the new pontiff?

Headlines the world over last Friday announced the new pope, Leo XIV. Headlines 75 years ago on May 10, 1950, announced a new audacious plan for peace: ‘France takes the nations by surprise’, ‘Schuman bomb’.

Devotion to the Virgin Mary is the true bond between all popes and even the glue that holds Roman Catholicism together.

Presented as Pope Leo XIV, he was an Augustinian missionary in Peru for 40 years. He holds degrees in mathematics and theology and was appointed by Pope Francis to oversee the selection process for new bishops.
