EWTN News In Depth: Pope Leo XIV’s First Week | May 16, 2025

About this sermon

Since stepping out from behind the crimson curtains at St. Peter’s Square one week ago, Pope Leo XIV has hit the ground running – we have a full report and speak with EWTN Senior Vatican Analyst Francis X. Rocca to discuss what Pope Leo XIV might be signaling to the faithful in his pontificate so far. Before he was pope, Fr. Robert Prevost spent formative years of his life ministering to the faithful in one of the poorest areas of Peru – we hear from EWTN Noticias anchor Edy Morel in Lima on how Peru may shape the current papacy. Archbishop Borys Gudziak sits down with Montse Alvarado in Rome to share more of the voice of the faithful in Ukraine amid Pope Leo XIV’s call for peace. The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage kicks off in Indianapolis this weekend – Mark Irons previews what’s ahead. And Roselle Reyes shares how a group of middle school Catholics in Virginia reacted to the news of Pope Leo XIV’s election as the first U.S. born pope. ------------ Hosted by Catherine Hadro, EWTN News In Depth welcomes guests in a discussion of current events in the Church, politics, and culture, all through the lens of the Catholic faith.
