The newly elected Pope Leo XIV officiated the first Mass of his pontificate in the Sistine Chapel.
00:07
To find out more on this first day of the new leadership of the Catholic Church,
00:12
let's go to our special envoy in the Vatican, Jorge Gestoso, with the latest news over there.
00:19
Thank you. Leo XIV was celebrating a Mass this morning as Pope for the first time,
00:27
and it did so in the Sistine Chapel, attended by the 133 cardinals that were selecting him.
00:37
And mostly his message in the homily was that he was being selected to bring with him a church, a cross,
00:48
and he was expected that those cardinals walk with him with that cross.
00:53
He was denouncing the lack of faith in the world.
00:58
He said that mostly the Catholic Church and the Catholics itself,
01:04
they need to shine by their commitment to the church and not by the material buildings around them.
01:12
It was a criticism of the materialistic world and the lack of principles in a way that he was mentioning.
01:20
He was also putting emphasis in his relationship with the rest of the world.
01:28
And what we have known is that he has been a very close ally of Pope Francis,
01:35
so much so that he was spending 24 years of his life in Peru.
01:41
He was 30 when he arrived there as a missionary and the diocese of Chiclayo,
01:49
he was there in his commitment.
01:53
And when yesterday he was giving his benediction in that balcony for the first time,
02:01
he turned to Spanish because he was talking in English, he was talking in Latin and also in Spanish,
02:08
and he was saluting his diocese of Chiclayo and all the commitment of that people.
02:16
It was the first time that we saw the Pope already talking about the language
02:21
and mentioning that he's really sharing the commitment to the church
02:27
that was emphasized by Pope Francis like a reformist, meaning social justice,
02:35
meaning taking care of migrants and the most vulnerable people, people left by a side.
02:41
He was also mentioning that he's into dialogue, building bridges,
02:48
and trying to put away all violence that is all over the world today.
02:51
So mostly what the conclusion of all the analysts that are observing what's going on,
02:59
they say in reality it was the big victory of Pope Francis in a way,
03:06
directly or indirectly, was Pope Francis who really was elected him as his successor.
03:14
So Leon 14 is expected to have another activities, not today,
03:22
but most definitely is going to have a very, very heavy agenda in the coming days.
03:28
We'll get back to you now.
03:32
Thank you, Jorge, for all the information in this relevant day for the Catholic Church from the Vatican City.
