00:00Pope Leo XIV marked his first anniversary on Friday with a visit to Pompeii calling for an outpouring of mercy
00:06to end global conflict.
00:09It's exactly one year since Robert Francis Prevost emerged from the conclave as the first American pope in history.
00:16Known as a man of balance, Leo sought a Pax Leonina blending the traditionalism of Benedict XVI with the social
00:23politics of Pope Francis.
00:25During his first 12 months, the Chicago native reopened the Apostolic Palace and allowed a return to more traditional liturgy.
00:33However, his mission was tested by intensifying wars in the Middle East involving Israel, Iran and the United States.
00:42Despite a tepid meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and public clashes with the White House,
00:48the pope insisted he remains a man of peace rather than a politician.
00:52He concluded his anniversary message by warning that while many call themselves Christians, their actions often offend God.
