US EditionPope Leo to Release First Document of His Tenure | Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Pope Leo XIV’s exhortation continues Pope Francis’s focus on the poor and completes a project started before Francis’s death in April 2024.
- On Oct. 9, Pope Leo Xiv signed the apostolic exhortation `Dilexi te` on the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi.
- After Francis's passing, Pope Leo Xiv was elected on May 8, completing a writing project Francis left unfinished, and he is expected to publish his first document on Oct. 9.

- Ahead of Oct. 9, the move frames early priorities for the Church as the Vatican said Leo will publish his first document, likely signaling priorities for the 1.4-billion-member Catholic Church.
