During his weekly general audience, Pope Leo told pilgrims that the Church's mission is to help people engage with the profound questions of life. He said the Christian community exists to accompany people in their search for meaning rather than simply offering ready-made answers. Vatican News reported the remarks, which are being shared among Catholic audiences worldwide.

Catholic Answers, a US-based Catholic apologetics organization, hosted an on-air debate with a Protestant caller over the papacy, the authority of the Pope, and its scriptural basis. The exchange forms part of the long-running Catholic-Protestant dispute over church authority, and listeners of both traditions continue to engage with arguments about papal primacy and succession from Peter.
