Pope Leo XIV has named the Rev. Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez as bishop of Palm Beach, Florida. Rodríguez, currently a pastor in Queens, New York, is known for advocating for migrants. He leads a predominantly Hispanic church and has expressed concerns about immigration policies. Rodríguez says he is ready to help the diocese, which includes President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. He emphasizes the church's role in defending migrants' rights while acknowledging nations' rights to control borders. Rodríguez plans to continue supporting migrant communities and hopes to work with the government to improve immigration policies.
