Vicariate of Rome Office for Social Communications PRESS RELEASE Statement of Cardinal Vicar Baldo Reina: “Solidarity with Pope Leo XIV” Gathering up the sentiments of the People of God present in the Diocese of Rome, I echo them in expressing solidarity and confirming full support for our Bishop, Pope Leo XIV, in the face of shocking attacks on his magisterium of peace. The Gospel of the Beatitudes is the substance of the Church’s mission, and no one and nothing, dazzled by the illusory glare of domineering power, will be able to hinder this proclamation. 13 April 2026
