At Pope Leo’s Wednesday General Audience on October 1st, Bishop Stephen Parkes, Bishop of Savannah (my bishop), who is on his Jubilee Year pilgrimage to Rome, greets Pope Leo XIV.
When Bishop Parkes introduced himself as the Bishop of Savannah, it was then that Pope Leo exclaimed, “Oh! Southern Orders!” And of course, why wouldn’t His Holiness?
