Vatican operations continue, but decisions requiring the pope’s approval may wait while he recovers. Death Penalty: Leo called capital punishment “inadmissible,” while the Vatican condemned plans to livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan as an unacceptable spectacle. Church Leadership: Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle became the first Asian dean of the College of Cardinals, after Leo approved his election—a significant role in the body that chooses the next pope.
