Pope Leo XIV Visits Lampedusa for Migrants

Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, visited the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa on July 4 to pray for migrants and rebuke hardline immigration policies of U.S. and EU leaders.

He called for the world to treat migrants with greater humanity and uphold human dignity.

The visit came as the pontiff's zucchetto famously blew off his head at Favaloro Pier, a moment captured widely on social media.

Meanwhile, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu reaffirmed his administration's commitment to interfaith dialogue after receiving an archbishop, signaling the pope's broader diplomatic reach.
