Chicago archbishop says Pope Leo will focus on immigration, drug trade, rising sea levels

Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, said on Sunday that he thinks Pope Leo XIV will carry forward Francis’s commitment and focus on immigration, climate change and human trafficking.

“I think he’s going to help complete and complement our political agenda,” Cupich told ABC News’s Martha Raddatz in a “This Week” interview from the Vatican City.

“He’ll still talk a lot about the immigrants as well because he knows about the sufferings of people and the real needs that they have for a better life.
