Pope Leo XIV has taken over the Vatican’s official social media handles. The Vatican posted a first Instagram post Tuesday repeating the first words Leo said to the world as pope: “Peace be with you all!

Pope Leo XIV has urged for "responsibility and discernment" over the use of artificial intelligence (A.I.) during his first press briefing with the media since being elected as the head of the Roman Catholic Church.

The way we communicate is of fundamental importance: we must say ‘no’ to the war of words and images, we must reject the paradigm of war,” Pope Leo told members of the media on Monday.
