Pope Leo XIV has taken over the Vatican’s official social media handles. The Vatican posted a first Instagram post Tuesday repeating the first words Leo said to the world as pope: “Peace be with you all!

Pope Leo XIV offered to host or facilitate peace talks among countries at war, calling for world leaders to "meet, talk, negotiate” during an address to Eastern-rite Catholics at the Vatican today.

Pope Leo XIV called for a kinder, gentler mass media, one that speaks up for those with no voice and in defense of free speech, and urged regimes around the world that jail journalists to set them free.
