Pope Leo to Release First Document, on World's Poor, on October 9

On Saturday, Pope Leo formally signed the apostolic exhortation Dilexi te, with the Vatican scheduling publication for October 9.
By completing a project started under the late Pope Francis, Pope Leo's document follows Francis' October 2024 encyclical Dilexit nos, which focused on spiritual themes.
Vatican officials said in recent weeks the text will focus on the world's poor, reflecting Pope Leo's frequent meals with Rome's homeless and criticism of market neglect.
The document is likely to offer hints about Pope Leo's priorities for the 1.4-billion-member Catholic Church, though the Vatican did not provide detailed contents on Saturday.
Earlier this year, Leo was elected on May 8 as the first US pope and held an audience for the Jubilee of Migrants on October 4, 2025.
