Pope prays for end to 'fratricidal hatred' as he celebrates anniversary with visit to Pompeii

  • By PAOLO SANTALUCIA and NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

Pope Leo XIV has prayed for political leaders to end "fratricidal hatred" in the world. He spent Friday, the anniversary of his election, in Pompeii, marking a feast day important to him. Leo traveled to the city near Naples to celebrate the May 8 feast of Our Lady of Pompeii. The sanctuary there is a significant site for Catholic pilgrims. In his homily, Leo entrusted his pontificate to the Virgin Mary and prayed for peace. He emphasized the need for mercy and enlightenment for leaders. Leo's visit to Pompeii is part of a series of trips across Italy.
