11:31⇢Leo XIV's First Homily Warns Against "Jesus As Superman"
⌨The newspapers extensively cover Pope Leo XIV's first Mass and homily in the Sistine Chapel (Adnkronos, ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere, Il Giornale, Il Sole, La Repubblica, Sky TG24). In his homily, which received applause from cardinals (La Repubblica), he warned that "reducing Jesus to a superman is practical atheism" (ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere, Il Giornale, Il Sole, La Repubblica, Sky TG24). The Pope used Benedict XVI's pastoral cross, also used by Francis (Il Giornale), and will continue residing at Santa Marta like his predecessor (Corriere). Former Avvenire director describes Leo XIV as "a Pope of the people" from the Americas, not just North America, with Cardinal Parolin likely assisting on geopolitical matters (HuffPost).
