## Resource

Pope Leo the Fourteenth, the first American-born pope, delivered a powerful message urging the U.S. to return to its founding ideals of life, dignity, and religious freedom as the nation prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Accepting the Liberty Medal from Rome, he praised America’s immigrant heritage and the vision of its founders, while calling for compassion toward migrants — a stance that contrasts with the Trump administration’s policies. He emphasized that every human life is sacred, from conception to natural death, and called on the nation to reaffirm its commitment to equality, liberty, and generosity — even as he plans to spend July 4th on Lampedusa, a symbol of hope for those seeking refuge.
