    Pope Leo offers hope for a troubled world. We can hope he speaks even louder and encourages bishops and priests to do likewise. Hopefully, they will have the courage to do so.

                          If Tucson wants to invest in a future that is sustainable, resilient, and community-driven, then those values need to be clearly and consistently articulated while decisions are still being shaped.
