Pope Leo Calls for a United Church at His Inauguration Mass

VATICAN CITY—Pope Leo XIV, in his inaugural Mass as pontiff, called for a united and open Catholic Church before an audience that included political and religious leaders looking for smoother relations with the Vatican. 'Brothers and sisters, I would like this to be our first great wish: a united church, a sign of unity and communion,' said Leo, speaking in Italian. 'Let us build a church founded on God's love, a sign of unity, a missionary church that opens its arms to the world.'
