Can Pope Leo Xiv Lose US Citizenship After Becoming Vatican’s American-Born Head Of State?US-Vatican

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. #PopeLeoXIV #VaticanCity #USCitizenship #RobertPrevost #AmericanPope #HolySee #CatholicChurch #PapalElection #DualCitizenship #VaticanNews #USLaw #CitizenshipReview #PopeAndPolitics #ChurchAndState #PeterSpiro #PapalHistory #PeruCitizenship #ConstitutionalLaw #USStateDepartment #InternationalLaw ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.122~

Lavrov REJECTS Pope's Offer To Host Russia-Ukraine Talks, Calls Vatican 'Unsuitable…' For Mediation

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur. #RussiaUkraineWar #Lavrov #VaticanPeaceTalks #PopeLeoXIV #UkraineCrisis #PeaceNegotiations #GiorgiaMeloni #OrthodoxChurch #CatholicChurch #RussiaUkraineConflict #LavrovStatement #PeaceDeal #VaticanOfferRejected #WarMediation #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #UkraineOrthodoxChurch #PopeLeoPeace #InternationalDiplomacy #HolySee Also Read Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Warns Against Nuclear Conflict in UN Speech Targeting the West :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-nuclear-capacity-un-speech-west-011-3947317.html?ref=DMDesc Russia's Lavrov Engages Guinea in Diplomatic Outreach Amid Cooling Western Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-foreign-minister-lavrov-africa-visit-guinea-011-3841367.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, North Korea Deepen Ties Amid Arms Deal Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-north-korea-talks-amid-arms-deal-concerns-gen-3728289.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.125~

Pope Leo XIV Meets Zelensky at Inauguration Mass | 1st American Pope Vows to end Russian-Ukraine War

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? #PopeLeoXIV #Zelensky #Vatican2025 #PapalInauguration #UkraineWar #GazaCrisis #CatholicChurch #FaithAndPolitics #FirstAmericanPope #JDVance #StPetersSquare #VaticanNews #WorldLeaders #PopeAndPeace #HumanitarianCrisis #ReligionAndGeopolitics ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~GR.124~
