Before Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the new Pope, Catholic cardinals reportedly consulted the 2024 film 'Conclave' ahead of the conclave to find Pope Francis' successor. According to Politico, a number of cardinals who are a part of the ongoing conclave that began Wednesday in Rome watched 'Conclave' as a, quote, "helpful research tool" to learn more about the process of selecting a new pope.

French President Emmanuel Macron is under scrutiny for allegedly trying to sway the upcoming papal conclave in favor of French cardinal Jean-Marc Aveline. Conservative Italian outlets claim Macron met with key Vatican figures to boost Aveline’s candidacy. While some label it a diplomatic power play to restore influence with the Holy See, others dismiss it as rumor. The conclave, set for May 7, will see 135 cardinals vote to elect Pope Francis’ successor. The Elysee and Catholic groups deny interference, but suspicion continues to swirl in Rome and beyond.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

In a historic and politically charged moment at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, shook hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as his inaugural Mass drew to a close.
But the gesture was more than ceremonial. In his first global address, Pope Leo XIV vowed to make “every effort” to help end the war in Ukraine and later condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying people had been “reduced to famine.”
World leaders—including U.S. Vice President JD Vance, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney—looked on as faith and geopolitics collided in St. Peter’s Square.
Is the new pope signaling a bold new era of Vatican diplomacy? Can faith intervene where politics has failed?

Pope Leo XIV was officially vested with the pallium and the Fisherman’s Ring during his inauguration Mass in St. Peter’s Square, marking the formal start of his papacy. These ancient symbols of papal authority represent the Pope’s role as the shepherd of the Catholic Church and successor of Saint Peter. The ceremony, witnessed by world leaders and thousands of pilgrims, was rich in tradition and solemnity. The emblems signify unity, humility, and the Pope’s spiritual commitment to guiding over 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide through faith and service.

American Pope Leo XIV stunned the world in his first public address by boldly calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza—directly clashing with U.S. President Donald Trump's stance on the conflict. Speaking to over 100,000 people at St. Peter’s Square, the newly elected pontiff demanded the release of all hostages, humanitarian access into Gaza, and an end to the ongoing war.
