Pope Leo Turns His Attention to the Heart of ‘Amoris Laetitia’

October 5, 2026 World News

Pope Leo XIV greets a family in the Vatican Gardens Oct. 1, 2026, during a gathering for the ‘One Million Children Praying the Rosary’ initiative. The Pope joined hundreds of children and their families in praying the Rosary for peace at the gardens’ Lourdes Grotto.

COMMENTARY: A decade on, Leo seems intent on recovering Francis’ vision of marriage and family rather than reheating the Communion debate.
