Vatican City – On May 12, Fr. Tomasz Podlewski, a priest from Częstochowa, Poland, and journalist based in Rome, shared a video of Pope Leo XIV’s press conference.

He works with the John Paul II Vatican Foundation and attended the Pope’s meeting with journalists that morning.

“I attended Pope Leo XIV’s meeting with journalists at 11:00 AM,” Fr. Podlewski said.

“The queue to the Vatican had already formed before 8:00 AM, but the long wait was absolutely worth it.”

He described the experience as powerful and moving.

“A great speech, an incredible atmosphere, and to top it off, the Pope personally approached us,” he added.
