Pope Leo XIV, the U.S.-born pontiff crowned in May 2025, sent his Christmas message scattering Catholic cheer mixed with a litany of global misery. Naming hotspots from Gaza to Cambodia like he was ticking off overdue bills, Leo emphasized Jesus’ new job description: empathizing with hungry Yemenis, unemployed millennials, underwater migrants crossing Mediterranean ginormous swimming pools, and even prison inmates living conditions worse than rush hour on the Rome Metro. His gentle jab at Trump’s administration for their immigration hawkishness added extra holiday spice to this ultimate UN pity party, worn like a Pope-sized Santa hat of goodwill and global guilt.
