Pope Leo XIV says choice of name reflects social commitment
Saturday, 10 May 2025 Pope Leo XIV said Saturday he intended to follow his predecessor's path as pontiff, praising Francis's "complete dedication to service" and explaining his name choice reflected a commitment to social causes, according to the Vatican. Describing himself as Saint Peter's "unworthy Successor" in one of his first addresses as pontiff, Leo praised Francis's dedication "to (the) sober simplicity of life".
Pope Leo XIV says his choice of name reflects a commitment to social causes embraced by Leo XIII, a late 19th century pontiff and determined defender of workers' rights during the industrial revolution, according to the Vatican.
