Pope Votes in US Election
Pope Leo XIV cast an absentee ballot in Illinois to vote in the midterms, per NBC News. The move marks a historic moment as the pontiff becomes the first pope in history to participate in a U.S. general election.
The Vatican explained that Pope Leo is legally allowed to vote due to his status as a citizen of the United States, despite being leader of the Vatican City State, according to the New York Post.
Flight WMT1313 is climbing out of Vatican City at 3,875 ft, heading southeast, as recent aviation activity includes several international flights departing nearby airports, according to live tracking data.
The Vatican also hosted a dialogue on AI and human dignity, per Vatican News, highlighting the Church's engagement with modern technological advancements.
