NYC Public Advocate's Statement on the Selection of Pope Leo XIV

"I offer congratulations and wish good luck to Pope Leo XIV, the first pope coming from America, as he leads the global Catholic community into a new era. I pray that he assumes this responsibility with humility, and that his stewardship is marked by charity, inclusion, and service in the model of both his predecessor and of Jesus Christ, peace be unto His name.

"Billions derive their mission from their faith. May the mission that moves forward from St. Peter’s Square today be one of progress and purpose, and may faith inspire works of mercy and justice in New York City, in our country, and our world."
