00:00The Catholic world is continuing to speculate as to how Pope Leo XIV will run the papal office.
00:09We've been speaking to friends of the Pope who say that Pope Leo XIV is a more calm,
00:15reserved, shy figure than his predecessor, but we've already been given clear indications
00:20that he'll look to follow in the footsteps of the late Pope Francis.
00:24He's described his legacy already as being quite precious and made many mentions
00:29of world peace, which was of course a focus of Francis.
00:34In today's dramatic scenario of a third world war being fought, as Pope Francis has repeatedly stated,
00:41I too appeal to the great ones of the world, repeating the ever relevant plea, no more war.
00:48But in terms of how he'll approach the geopolitical aspects of the job,
00:52well, that of course, we'll get more insight into that of course when he addresses the media
00:58and he's expected to do that on the afternoon of Monday, Rome time,
01:02where it's almost certain he'll be asked by the many American reporters here
01:07about his views on the Trump administration and immigration policy.
01:11Pope Leo XIV, when he was Cardinal Robert Provost, made some opinions on that issue
01:16pretty clear on social media and the like.
01:19Pope Leo XIV will be inaugurated here at the Vatican on the 18th of May,
01:22and then the job really begins.
01:24The Catholic world will be focusing on how the new pontiff
01:28handles the many issues and challenges facing the Catholic Church.
