Vatican LIVE: Pope Leo XIV Participates in Audience with Jubilee Pilgrims at St. Peter’s Square | CNBC TV18 Pope Leo XIV presides over a special Mass for the Jubilee of the Poor in St Peter's Basilica. Pope Leo XIV celebrates Mass to mark the Jubilee of the Poor, and urges leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest, saying they remind us that there can be no peace without justice. Pope Leo has held an audience with Hollywood stars, urging actors and directors including Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortensen and Monica Bellucci to continue their work as "pilgrims of the imagination", helping to "bring hope". The celebrity meeting was a sprinkling of star dust for a still relatively new pope and a way for the Catholic Church to engage more with the world beyond. It was also a strong show of support from Leo XIV for the global film industry, as he spoke out against the "troubling decline" in cinema-going. Hailed by director Spike Lee as a "great day", the gathering was the first of its kind in the Vatican. #popeleoxiv #vatican #stpetersbasilica #LateranBasilica #Stjohns #catholicchurch #cnbctv18 #sundaymass
