In this video, we explore the powerful first steps of Pope Leo XIV, the newly elected Pontiff following the legacy of Pope Francis. From his surprising choice of name—echoing Leo XIII, the “Pope of the Workers”—to his bold message of peace, unity, and social justice, Pope Leo XIV is already signaling a transformative vision for the Church.

His first words as Pope—“Peace be with you”—set the tone for a pontificate deeply concerned with global conflict, human dignity, and the impact of the new industrial revolution and artificial intelligence. With the challenges of Church unity, synodality, and deepening polarization ahead, Leo XIV’s approach is both pastoral and prophetic.

We’ll unpack his key messages, what cardinals are saying about his leadership, and how his background and vision reflect the urgent needs of today’s world.
