VATICAN: Pope Leo XIV took his message of building bridges and promoting dialogue to the Roman Curia on Saturday, in his first audience with members of the Catholic Church鈥檚 governing body.
The late Pope Francis had sometimes difficult relations with the Curia and Vatican officials, accusing them early in his papacy of 鈥渟piritual Alzheimer鈥檚鈥� and a lust for power.
The new pontiff, the first from the United States, said Saturday that his inaugural meeting was an opportunity to say thanks for all their work.
鈥淧opes come and go, the Curia remains,鈥� Leo told the audience of officials, staff and their families in the Vatican鈥檚 vast Paul VI hall.
He repeated his first words from St. Peter鈥檚 Basilica when he became pope on May 8, where he urged people to 鈥渂uild bridges鈥� and to welcome 鈥渨ith open arms, everyone who needs our charity, our presence, dialogue and love.鈥�
鈥淚f we must all cooperate in the great cause of unity and love, let us try to do so first of all with our behavior in everyday situations, starting from the work environment,鈥� the pope said.
鈥淓veryone can be a builder of unity with their attitudes toward colleagues, overcoming inevitable misunderstandings with patience and humility, putting themselves in the shoes of others, avoiding prejudices, and also with a good dose of humor, as Pope Francis taught us.鈥�
From decentralising power and increasing transparency to providing greater roles for lay people and women, Francis implemented several reforms of the Roman Curia.
But his criticism left a lasting impression among many officials, and he also drew accusations of being too authoritarian in his governance, regularly bypassing the administrative bodies of the Holy See.
In 2024, the Vatican 鈥� where trade unions are not recognized 鈥� also saw an unprecedented strike by around 50 employees of the Vatican Museums over their working conditions.
The pope spent two decades working in Peru but for the past two years was head of the Vatican department responsible for appointing bishops worldwide.
