The video shows the Pope appearing through a projection on the walls of the cathedral, while the priest performs his unreleased single “Dear Young People”, coming from the upcoming EP ‘Integral Ecology’.
While playing the speech, the facade was illuminated by lasers, reflectors and projection mapping.
“With joy I welcome you gathered before the magnificent cathedral in Košice, which is the beating heart of religion and hope” said the Pope, addressing the assembled.
Pope Leon XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, became the head of the Catholic Church and the first American to take up this function at the beginning of that year.
Since the beginning of his pontificate, the Pope has put emphasis on cultural commitment and the search for fresh ways to advance spiritual values through art.
His widely shared post on Letterboxd lists 4 of his favourite films: “Music Sounds”, “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “ average People” and “Life is beautiful”which, as he said, reflect "the best qualities of the human spirit."
