Pope Leo XIV is back on social media, with a message of peace

  • Pope Leo XIV, history’s first American pope, took over the Vatican’s official social media handles and posted on Instagram on May 13, 2025.
  • The Vatican followed its established practice by preserving the messages shared during Pope Francis’ 12-year tenure, while continuing to use the @Pontifex account originally created in 2012 under Pope Benedict XVI.
  • After being inactive since July 2023, the @Pontifex account became active again in early 2025, posting critiques of the Trump administration’s approach to migration as well as statements made by Vice President JD Vance.
  • The Vatican’s @Pontifex handle operates in nine languages and counts 52 million followers, with posts curated by the Vatican rather than sent directly by popes.
  • Pope Leo XIV’s first Instagram post reiterated his initial words as pope and marks a renewed Vatican social media presence amid this transition.
