New Pope showed the way to be full of humanity (7)

I believe the answer is:

peopled

'be full of humanity' is the definition.

'new pope showed the way' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'showed the way' becomes 'led' (I've seen this before).
'pope' is an anagram of 'peop'.
'peop'+'led'='PEOPLED'

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for peopled that I've seen is " filled with humanity".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
