Pope Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV called attention to two important events that fell on May 24: the day of prayer for Catholics in China and the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' encyclical on the environment.

Celebrating his first Mass in Rome's diocesan cathedral, Pope Leo XIV said communion is built primarily "on our knees," through prayer and a constant commitment to conversion.

Prime Minister Mark Carney took time during his visit to Rome for the Pope’s inaugural Mass to speak with reporters, and his Catholic faith was a topic that came up in their questions.

Our Holy Mother the Church has once again proven, as if proof were needed, that the “rates of yell” will not prevail against her.

The future Pope Leo XIV’s nine years of service were so well-regarded by the Peruvians of Chiclayo that they considered their former Bishop, the American Robert Prevost, a true “Chiclayano.”

The Gospel parable of the "wasteful sower" who casts seeds on fertile soil as well as on a rocky path "is an image of the way God loves us," Pope Leo XIV told visitors and pilgrims at his first weekly general audience.

A pilgrimage organized by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) began with the promise of an audience with Pope Francis but ended with pilgrims being in Rome for the election of Pope Leo XIV.

Optimism abounds in the early days of Pope Leo XIV’s papacy as it appears he could prove to be an important ally of Ukraine and its pursuit of a peace deal as its war with neighbouring Russia endures.

A move to hold talks between Ukraine and Russia at the Vatican appeared to gain momentum May 19, following a call between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
