When Pope Leo was head of the Midwest Augustinians, he made a good friend of his, the vocations director, sell a sports car. He didn't like the image it presented.
That friend says he's since good-naturedly kidded Leo about the fact that he now drives around in a Mercedes.
On Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV met with executives of Mercedes-Benz, who are in Rome for a special exhibition, “A Century of the Popemobile.”
The Holy Father thanked the German automaker for its long-standing collaboration with the Holy See, beginning in 1930 when a Mercedes-Benz automobile was delivered to Pope Pius XI.
In his address, Pope Leo emphasized that the so-called “Popemobiles” have evolved from simply a means of transportation to “an instrument of encounter,” and thanked the executives for helping “facilitate the Church’s mission of reaching out to people and bringing a message of faith, of hope and of charity to the world.”

"Nabalitaan ko yung iba, pinapagawa na sa AI ang kanilang recollection o kanilang homily. Kung hindi galing sa puso yun, hindi yun homily. That's not a missionary witnessing to my faith. That is just restructuring of data put into a database and thats not faith." - Cardinal Tagle
Pope Leo: "War can never be waged in the name of God. For us believers, to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself. There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy." vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…

"He had a great way of just kind of getting in the middle," one sister recalled of the future pope, "and making both sides come together and build bridges."

On October 27, 1986, Pope St. John Paul II gathered representatives of the world's religions to pray for peace in Assisi.
Forty years later, the 'Spirit of Assisi' continues to encourage different faiths to come together to engage in dialogue and build a better world.

Pope Leo XIV highlights how peace must become once again the "guiding star for all our choices," in a video message to the participants in the International Meeting "Unarmed and Disarming Peace" in Assisi. Forty years ago, Pope St. John Paul II had gathered religious representatives in the Italian town to pray for peace.
"Precisely in these times marked by a 'culture of power,'" Pope Leo continued, "there is a need to cultivate the spirit of Assisi, which entails a rejection of the religious justification of war, a spirit of mediation and dialogue, and contemplative reflection combined with creative action in the service of a future of peace."
