Pope Leo XIV holds first Mass in Sistine Chapel after historic election
ai generated text
Pope Leo XIV, the 267th pope and the first from the United States, celebrated his first Mass as pontiff under Michelangelo's ceiling frescoes at the Vatican. The surprise election of Robert Francis Prevost, a Chicago-born missionary, came after a conclave that lasted less than 26 hours. In his homily, Leo began in English before switching to Italian, stating he would be a "faithful administrator" of the church.
To have the Pope from the United States of America that's a great honor, that's a great honor.
Congratulations to Leo XIV, the first American Pope, on his election! I'm sure millions of American Catholics and other Christians will pray for his successful work leading the Church. May God bless him!
There are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman. This is true not only among non-believers but also among many baptised Christians, who thus end up living — at this level — in a state of practical atheism.
It has been clearly seen in the example of so many of my predecessors, and most recently by Pope Francis himself, with his example of complete dedication to service and to sober simplicity of life, his abandonment to God throughout his ministry and his serene trust at the moment of his return to the Father's house.
There are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power or pleasure.
Greetings … to all of you and in particular, to my beloved diocese of Chiclayo in Peru, where a faithful people have accompanied their bishop, shared their faith.
At a time of profound global challenges, may his pontificate be marked by wisdom, discernment, a deep commitment to common good, and dignity of all.
Catholics don't have anything good to look forward to. Just another Marxist puppet in the Vatican.
Well would you look at that … Congratulations to Chicago's own Pope Leo XIV.
The Catholic hierarchy has not merely mishandled abuse allegations – it industrialized the process.
We trust he will be open to listen to the lived experience of LGBT+ Catholics, their parents and families.
