Pope Leo joined a simple lunch at the Borgo Laudato si’ in Castel Gandolfo.
He shared a table with vulnerable guests, called on the public to end the causes of poverty and injustice, and declared he brought a hunger for authentic charity.
The gathering was included in a series of outreach events the the pontiff has organised since his election.
He also engaged with migrant labour groups in the Canary Islands.
His brother joined Donald Trump’s $60 million UFC‑linked White House birthday event, a party that featured a mixed‑martial‑arts exhibition and drew international attention.
