Facing China, Leo XIV follows in the footsteps of Pope Francis by appointing a bishop in Fuzhou
Bishop appointments rarely attract much attention, but in China, each one is closely watched and commented on by the global Catholic community, as they are seen as indicators of either warming or cooling relations between Beijing and the Vatican. The recent appointment in the Diocese of Fuzhou, a provincial capital on China's Southeast coast facing Taiwan, was especially significant: it was the first to be approved by the new pope, Leo XIV, who was elected on May 8. On Wednesday, June 11, the Vatican announced that six days earlier, on June 5, it had appointed an auxiliary bishop in this city of nine million people. At the same time, the official Church, overseen by the Chinese Communist Party, held a ceremony on that Wednesday to formally acknowledge the appointment. These two gestures of mutual goodwill occurred in a context that is often tense. China remains the only country where bishops are jointly appointed by local authorities and the Vatican, under a 2018 agreement intended to ease tensions between the two states and to end the system of two parallel Churches – one "official," the other "underground." Elsewhere in the world, this is an exclusive prerogative of the Holy See.

Pope Leo condemns 'exclusionary mindset' in Pentecost address
Leo's homily did not call out current events and conflicts nor identify individual leaders. But his choice of language was significant, encouraging people to "open borders" within their hearts and minds. The address marked a month since the former Robert Prevost from Chicago was elected pope, and came during a Sunday mass to celebrate Pentacost held under sunny skies in St Peter's Square. Before mass, the 69-year-old pontiff made a turn around the sprawling Baroque square in his popemobile to the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, estimated by the Vatican at around 80,000 people. Leo said the Church "must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race". People must move "beyond our fear of those who are different," he said, noting that the Holy Spirit "breaks down barriers and tears down the walls of indifference and hatred..." "Where there is love, there is no room for prejudice, for 'security' zones separating us from our neighbours, for the exclusionary mindset that, tragically, we now see emerging also in political nationalisms." Leo did not speak of physical borders but his focus on barriers and walls evoked the politics of US President Donald Trump, who has vowed to stem illegal immigration into the United States. The pope also said the Holy Spirit was an antidote to toxic relationships marked by "suspicion, prejudice or the desire to manipulate others". "With great pain," Leo cited "cases where relationships are marked by an unhealthy desire for domination, an attitude that often leads to violence, as is shown, tragically, by numerous recent cases of femicide". In Italy, a slew of femicides have become front-page news over the last month, including the killing of a 14-year girl by her boyfriend last week. Leo also cited the dangers of social media, saying it risked making people "ever more alone" within a "vortex of individualism." "Constantly connected, yet incapable of 'networking'. Always immersed in a crowd, yet confused and solitary travellers," he said. Since his election, Leo has offered to mediate between leaders of countries at war and earlier this week, he had his first telephone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Several speeches made by the new pontiff -- including among his first words from St Peter's Basilica when he became pope on May 8 -- have focused on building bridges between individuals and peoples. Pentecost marks the end of the Easter season and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi to revisit Ukraine and Russia imminently
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said he will travel to Kyiv in the next few days amid reports that Russian troops are building power lines to link the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to its grid. "I can say that, in the next few days, I will go to Kyiv again and perhaps also to Russia," Rafael Grossi told Euronews speaking to a group of international reporters at the week long seminar in Vienna. The New York Times has recently reported that Russian forces are building power lines on temporarily occupied territories in south-eastern Ukraine. Evidence gathered by Greenpeace and satellite images show new electricity lines and pylons between the occupied Ukrainian cities of Mariupol and Berdyansk on the Azov sea coast, which appeared since February 2025. According to Greenpeace it proves that Moscow is willing to restart and exploit the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, which has been shut down. The IAEA is concerned about this possibility. "The front continues to be extremely active, so military operations are ongoing in the relative vicinity of the of the plant," Grossi told Euronews. 'We are concerned about this, we are following that. As you know, we have a permanent presence at the plant. And we are going to be continuing our discussions with both, in particular with the Russians, on this," he said, adding that the idea of restarting of the plant "is a matter that requires very careful consideration and perhaps very thorough safety evaluation. So this is one of the points I am going to be discussing with them over the next few days.' The Argentinian diplomat - who visited Tehran in April - is also carefully following the talks between the US administration and Iran. Grossi said he was in daily contact with Foreign Minister Al Aghji and that one of his deputies is today in Tehran. "Depending on the day, there are days where things look a bit better," said Grossi, but he added that some days President Trump is saying one thing, then the Iranians reply with another. Any US-Iran deal should include the scope for 'robust' IAEA inspections, Grossi said, reiterating recent comments that agreement without the IAEA would just be a "piece of paper". Grossi called the talks a good sign but insisted that 'the jury is still out' on negotiations between Iran and the US over Tehran's advancing nuclear programme. The Trump administration is currently holding talks to try to stop Iran from following through with nuclear activities. Back in 2016, the Trump administration withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Grossi was asked whether his future plans include interest in replacing Antonio Guterres as UN chief when his term comes to an end in December 2026. "What I have said to colleagues in other parts of the world is that I'm seriously considering, that, yes. But for the moment, I'm here, and I have as you can see from this discussion, I have a lot on my plate," he said.
