To the ends of the earth: during the first year of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate, we have seen how his global journeys continue the modern tradition of papal travel, bringing messages of peace, unity, and faith across continents.

Also, one year has passed since the funeral of Pope Francis, on this occasion we take a deep dive into the era of Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVItwo popes living side by side.

Finally, we look back at Pope Leo XIV’s 11-day Africa trip, John Paul II’s historic synagogue visit, and the Vatican’s urgent call for peace if we have any chance in the fight against rising global hunger.

Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes,

Andreas Thonhauser
