Pope Leo is currently on his first trip to the Middle East since becoming the leader of the Catholic Church. The pontiff visited Turkey this weekend, and now he's in Lebanon, where posters with his likeness have been set up around Beirut. CBS News' Chris Livesay reports that the pope's visit is bringing a message of peace, unity and hope to the people of Lebanon, who have endured decades of war, economic ruin and a refugee crisis. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/pope-leo-message-of-peace-to-leb

This is how it feels to be at Pope Leo’s first public Mass in Türkiye (Turkey) with his "little flock" in the Volkswagen Arena in Istanbul. In a country of more than 80 million people, only around 30–35,000 are Catholics… and tonight they’re here, singing, praying, and welcoming their shepherd. 📹Magdalena Wolinska-Riedi / EWTN News #advent #turkey #türkiye #popeleoxiv #catholicchurch | Catholic News Agency
