In his most recent public address on May 16, Pope Leo XIV spoke about the importance of family and social responsibility. According to reports from AP News, he encouraged policies that support strong family structures and emphasized the role of stable homes in building peaceful societies.
He also spoke about the broader theme of human dignity. “No one is exempt from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable—from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and immigrants alike,” he said.
With his inaugural Mass just days away, Pope Leo XIV continues to shape his public image as a leader focused on both tradition and pastoral care, drawing global attention as the Church enters a new chapter.
