Pope Leo XIV

The last thing a Jewish academic like myself with no grounding in Christian theology should want to do is to weigh in on recent attacks against Pope Leo XIV by President Trump, Vice President Vance and others.

A year after his first words "Peace be with you all,” we know a lot more about Cardinal Robert Prevost turned Pope Leo XIV. He has emerged as a pope of order for times of global chaos.

After one year Pope Leo XIV has emerged as a pontiff attempting to guide a polarized church and fractured world through dialogue, peace and defence of human dignity.

Pope Leo XIV marked the anniversary of his May 8 election by making a pilgrimage to celebrate Mass at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Pompeii.

When Robert Francis Prevost stepped onto the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica one year ago, his first speech was, in ways that would only become clear over the year that followed, a preview of what was to come.

Ahead of the first anniversary of his election to the chair of St. Peter, it was announced that Pope Leo XIV is officially expected to visit France in late September, the French bishops' conference confirmed May 6.

The Vatican released the official schedule for Pope Leo XIV's first apostolic visit to Spain, a seven-day trip.

The Catholic Church is the guardian of hope, whose members are called to speak clearly against all evil and in defence of human life, Pope Leo XIV said.

Roughly two months before celebrating a year on the throne of Peter, Pope Leo XIV became one of the most quoted global leaders on the planet.

Since voting in the conclave that elevated Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost to the papacy on May 8, 2025, Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto has cherished the opportunities accorded him over the past year to interact with Pope Leo XIV.
