Pope Leo XIV made his inaugural social media post on Tuesday, emphasizing a message of peace as he aims to engage actively through the Vatican’s official accounts on X and Instagram. In his first communication since succeeding Pope Francis, who passed away last month, Leo XIV reiterated his greeting, “Peace be with you all!” and expressed a desire for this message to resonate globally. The Vatican is archiving posts from Francis’ 12-year papacy, and while the new X account was not yet active, Leo XIV previously engaged with social media as Cardinal Robert Prevost.
