Pope Leo XIV: A Picture Is Worth a 1,000 Words: The Curator Meets the Pope

While on pilgrimage to Rome with a small group, Father Kunst was fortunate to meet Pope Leo. He brought with him a copy of The Papacy, A Living History (featured below–a 6 part EWTN series of Father’s Collection) to present to the Pope, and the baseball he hoped (unsuccessfully!) the Pope would sign!

The photos, captured by the Vatican News Service aptly convey the expressions of both men in this encounter. We are blessed to share them with you!
