Last Saturday, June 10, the Vatican witnessed a historic moment: the first public address of Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. The new pontiff’s message not only marked a new chapter in the spiritual leadership of the Catholic Church, but also included a heartfelt gesture toward the Brazilian people—one that quickly sparked emotion and widespread reaction on social media.
The video gained significant traction after being shared by Father Marcelo Rossi, one of Brazil’s most influential Catholic leaders, known for his strong digital presence. The clip spread rapidly, moving the faithful and signaling a fresh approach to leadership and communication within the Church.
