What can Saint Francis Teach Us About the Church Today?

Pope Leo XIV has called for a period of synodal discernment to determine how to proclaim the Gospel to families and younger generations. This follows the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia, the document regarding love in the family.

To facilitate this process, the pope convened the heads of the Eastern Catholic Churches and the presidents of episcopal conferences from around the world.

During the Angelus, the pope also requested that the rosary be prayed throughout October to seek an end to conflicts. He additionally highlighted children supported by Aid to the Church in Need.
