Pope Francis has named Cardinal Robert McElroy, a liberal voice and critic of former President Trump, as the new Archbishop of Washington, D.C. This appointment follows the resignation of Cardinal Wilton Gregory. McElroy, known for his progressive stance on issues such as immigration and church reform, will take over the leadership of the D.C. archdiocese amid ongoing political shifts. His close alignment with Pope Francis suggests a continuation of advocacy for social justice within the Catholic Church.
