On Monday, Pope Leo XIV gave his first press conference at the Vatican, where he called for peace and free speech as he addressed over 6,000 journalists. As he was walking out and shaking hands with members of the press, the new pontiff, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, gave a very cryptic answer to a reporter’s question that named the U.S.

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

Pope Leo XIV graduated from Villanova University near Philadelphia, mere miles from Trump's college, Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
