Pope Leo's Vision to Illuminate the World's Dark Nights

On Friday, Pope Leo expressed his hope that his election would guide the Catholic Church in shining light on the world's dark nights. He made these remarks during his inaugural Mass, following his historic election the previous day.

Addressing cardinals in the iconic Sistine Chapel, Leo underscored his desire to serve as a 'faithful administrator' for the global Catholic community. He is the first pontiff hailing from the United States.

Leo highlighted that the Church's true identity lies in the holiness and sanctity of its members, rather than the magnificence and opulence of its physical structures.
