Another connected potato. Like his predecessor, the new sovereign pontiff is also present on social networks. The American cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who took the name of Léon XIV, has an account about X for more than a decade, or even before Benoît XVI, who was the first Pope to publish on the social network, in 2012.
As his profile indicates, the successor of Pope Francis created an account about the social network of Elon Musk in August 2011, at a time when the network was not yet generalized. With more than 374,000 subscribers, Léon XIV has published more than 400 times since the opening of his account, expressing his opinions on World News.
At the beginning of February, he responded significantly to Vice President JD Vance, when the latter suggested that Christens had to love his family first, before his neighbors, his community and his fellow citizens. Then he had published an editorial entitled “JD Vance is wrong. Jesus does not ask us to prioritize our love for others.”
Social networks and mobile games
Before this republication, Pope Léón XIV had not published anything in X since July 20, 2023. Since then, he has not published and republished some messages, with respect to JD Vance, Pope Francis or Donald Trump. The 267th Sovereign Pontiff is also present on Facebook, where its profile is private. Only two photos are seen, one of which shows it on a horse.
In addition to social networks, Leon XIV also appreciates certain mobile games. As his brother, John Prevost, said in NBC, the new Pope plays Wool. “It’s something regular,” he said. Pope Francis’s successor also plays Words with friendsA Scrabble type network network. “This is something that allows him not to think about life in the real world,” said his brother.
