In a historic inauguration at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV delivered a powerful message urging an end to division within the Catholic Church and a commitment to unity, love, and peace. The inaugural Mass, attended by world leaders and tens of thousands of faithful, saw the new pontiff openly criticize the exploitation of the poor, capitalism, and autocracy, while calling for a united church that serves as a beacon of hope. With Vice President JD Vance in attendance, Pope Leo passionately condemned marginalization and called for a ceasefire in Gaza and peace in Ukraine, emphasizing the need for a global mission of reconciliation. His heartfelt address and the receipt of the papal ring marked a new chapter, challenging the church and global leaders to embrace a spirit of cooperation and commitment to the marginalized.
