Pope Leo XIV will preside over his inaugural mass today in front of St Peter’s Basilica, which marks the formal start of his papacy. JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are attending.

Pope Leo XIV officially opened his pontificate by taking his first popemobile tour through the piazza, a rite of passage that has become synonymous with the papacy's global reach and mediatic draw.

Pope Leo XIV met with faith leaders at the Vatican on Monday, emphasizing his commitment to continue Pope Francis’ legacy on synodality in relation to ecumenical dialogue.

Reno Omokri, ex-presidential aide, has taken a swipe at Daily Trust over a report on Seyi Tinubu during his father, President Bola Tinubu's visit to the Vatican.

“The only smoke that worked out in their favor was the cigar smoke they had at their receptions,” said Christopher White, the Vatican correspondent for National Catholic Reporter, a liberal outlet, who is writing a book on Leo ordered by Loyola Press.
