In his first public address as Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost extended a heartfelt message of peace and unity from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. Delivered in Italian and Spanish, his speech honored Pope Francis, emphasized humility, and called for a global mission of justice and dialogue. A son of Saint Augustine, he urged the Church to build bridges, embrace suffering, and become a community for all. With special greetings to his former diocese in Peru and invocations to Mary, Pope Leo sets a hopeful, bold tone for his papacy in uncertain times.

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts. Before his election, he subtly criticized Vice President JD Vance, reposted content calling out Donald Trump's stance on immigration, and expressed support for Pope Francis' health. His posts reflect a compassionate stance on immigration, Dreamers, gun reform, and climate action-drawing cheers from liberals and concern from right-wing commentators. Though not prolific online, these posts provide a glimpse into the political leanings of the first American pope and what his leadership could signal for the global Church.

Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties. Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms. He vows to build on Pope Francis’ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice. With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIV’s papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

Pope Francis' funeral mass began with the Prayer of the Faithful, delivered by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re. In a significant departure from past papal funerals, the prayer was recited in six languages: Italian, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Polish, German, and for the first time, Mandarin. The inclusion of Mandarin reflects Pope Francis’ efforts to build bridges with China, especially after his visit to Mongolia in 2023. Cardinal Agostino Liu Bo delivered the prayer in Mandarin, invoking the hope that Christ calls all faithful to His kingdom. Cardinal Marengo, the first Mongolian cardinal, will also play a role in choosing the Pope’s successor.
