Pope Leo joined a simple lunch at the Borgo Laudato si’ in Castel Gandolfo.
He shared a table with vulnerable guests, pressed authorities to remove the causes of poverty and injustice, and declared he brought a hunger for genuine charity.
The gathering was a component of a group of outreach events the new pontiff has organised since his election.
He also engaged with workers’ collectives in the Canary Islands.
His brother attended Donald Trump’s $60 million UFC‑linked White House birthday event, an event that showcased a mixed‑martial‑arts exhibition and captured global interest.
