Boston Bishop Holds Unique, Ancient Connection With the New Holy Father

  • Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Francis Prevost and a native of Chicago, presided over a June 2, 2025, ceremony in the Sistine Chapel commemorating Blessed Cardinal Iuliu Hossu's legacy.
  • This event came after Pope Francis declared Hossu blessed in 2019, highlighting the continued acknowledgment of his brave actions in rescuing thousands of Jews during the Nazi occupation from 1940 to 1944.
  • During the ceremony, Pope Leo XIV highlighted Hossu's pastoral letter from 1944 urging Christians to aid Jews with sacrifice and charity, emphasizing forgiveness and a call against violence, especially toward vulnerable groups.
  • Bishop Robert Reed of Boston, Pope Leo XIV's successor as titular bishop of the ancient Diocese of Sufar located in modern Algeria, spoke of a meaningful connection to the new pope based on this shared historical title.
  • The ceremony and reflections underscore Cardinal Hossu as a model of faith, mercy, and courage, encouraging the Church to continue his legacy of interfaith solidarity and resistance to violence in today's world.
