Pope Leo XIV met with the 2025 Vatican Observatory Summer School (VOSS) earlier today. His comments to them:
Good morning, and welcome!
I am pleased to have this opportunity to greet all of you, students and scholars from various part of the world who are taking part in the Vatican Observatory Summer School. I offer you my prayerful good wishes that this experience of living and studying together will not only be academically and personally enriching, but also help to develop friendships and forms of collaboration that can only contribute to the progress of science in the service of our one human family….

Look for a picture of a rather happy-looking Br. Guy in there!
No doubt that readers of Sacred Space Astronomy will enjoy seeing our new pope talking about the James Webb Space Telescope.
