Pope Leo XIV announced 15 massive reforms "set to change the Catholic Church forever" in July 2025. A rumor that circulated online in July 2025 claimed Pope Leo XIV had announced 15 major reforms for the Roman Catholic Church.

Hundreds of thousands of young faithful feted Pope Leo XIV like a rock star Saturday at an open-air prayer vigil outside Rome, after the head of the Catholic Church made a dramatic entrance by helicopter.

Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday received a rock star’s welcome at the Vatican’s festival of Catholic influencers — priests, nuns and ordinary faithful who use their social media presence to preach and teach the faith — as he urged them to ensure that human relations don’t suffer with the spread of digital ecosystems and artificial intelligence.
