Social justice message from 1st American pope
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|May 10, 2025
Pope Leo XIV celebrated his first mass as pontiff on Friday after his historic appointment as the first American to lead the world's 1.4 billion Roman Catholics.
VATICAN CITY:
His elevation puts another US voice on the world stage, but the new pope's relationship with his home country may not be simple. His past pronouncements as a cardinal and initial signals as pope are that some of his views put him at odds with the actions of Donald Trump and his administration.
When Leo XIV spoke to crowds from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, his first message was against all forms of division and war. "Build bridges, with dialogue, through encounters, uniting everyone to be a single people, always at peace," he said. "Evil will not prevail."
