@cbsnews: Pope Leo XIV blessed babies in St. Peter’s Square as he was arriving for his first general audience. Popes traditionally hold a general audience on Wednesday mornings and meet with the faithful. In his first general audience, the pontiff called for sufficient humanitarian aid to be allowed into war-ravaged Gaza, where humanitarian agencies say a total blockade has sparked critical food and medicine shortages. “I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid and to put an end to the hostilities,” the pope said Wednesday, “the heartbreaking price of which is paid by children, the elderly, the sick.” Read more about his first general audience in the link. #popeleo #vatican
