“Maybe some of you are still saying: Why was I chosen? At least I ask myself that,” Pope Leo XIV said Sept. 11 during a meeting with bishops in Rome for the Vatican’s annual formation courses for new bishops.
The heavens opened at Christ’s baptism and have not closed since, according to Brad Hubbard, the campus director for the Dallas satellite campus of Encounter School of Ministry.
The closest thing the Church has to a learning certificate for new bishops is a weeklong formation program in Rome — sometimes referred to as the “baby bishops course” — where they spend time with one another, Vatican officials, and the pope himself.
