Pope Leo XIV: One Year of Peace in a Restless World | Rebel Saints Podcast

One year into the papacy of the first American pope, Nicole reflects on why Pope Leo XIV’s simple, repeated message of peace is cutting through the noise of our exhausted, outrage-driven culture.

In this heartfelt episode, she explores how an Augustinian missionary from Chicago stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s and greeted a divided world with “Peace be with you” — and hasn’t stopped saying it since. With over 400 references to peace in his first year, Pope Leo is calling the Church back to something that is urgently needed: the disarming, unarmed peace of Christ that refuses to let hatred win.
