Read, Watch or Listen

Pope Leo XIV, in his first official X posts from the @Pontifex account, passionately advocated for world peace, condemning ongoing conflicts. He urged global leaders to engage in dialogue and negotiation, offering the Vatican's assistance. His tweet spree, including six posts in 13 minutes, contrasts with his previously quieter public persona. This active social media engagement marks a potential shift in papal communication, especially considering past criticisms of political figures like President Trump and Vice President Vance.
