New Pope Sets Bold Tone on Family & Peace

Pope Leo XIV just made his first big statement as the new (and first American!) pope, doubling down on the Catholic Church’s traditional stance: family means a man and a woman. He’s also all about peace—calling for less weapon-making and more thoughtful words. But here’s the twist: while he’s holding firm on marriage, he’s still echoing Pope Francis’ call for a more welcoming church. Big moves for day one! #PopeLeoXIV #Vatican #CatholicChurch #FamilyValues #Peace #Culture
