In his first public address as Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost extended a heartfelt message of peace and unity from the balcony of St. Peterās 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.
