Pope Leo XIV has taken over the Vatican’s official social media handles. VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV has taken over the Vatican’s official social media handles, with a first Instagram post on Tuesday repeating the first words he said to the world as pope: “Peace be with you all!”

On the heels of having his MLB fandom confirmed last week, Pope Leo XIV's sports credentials keep getting stronger after a meeting with the best men's tennis player in the world.

Experts see the new pontiff as less confrontational than his predecessor, but willing to stand up for the church's teachings.
