The View's Sunny Hostin Changes Stance on Pope Leo XIV After Learning of Haitian and Black Roots

Sunny Hostin, co-host of the television show The View, has publicly changed her stance on Pope Leo XIV following the revelation of his Haitian and Black ancestry. Initially expressing concern about Pope Leo XIV's adherence to the Catholic Church's teachings on homosexuality, Hostin later celebrated the pope's heritage, declaring, "we have a Black pope." This shift in tone was noted across various media outlets, highlighting her enthusiastic embrace of the pope's racial background. The discussion around Pope Leo XIV also reflects broader skepticism among some journalists about a pope strictly following traditional Catholic teachings.
