![Pope Leo XIV on the papal plane to Spain: “Do [young people] want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the pope? Many will go see Bad Bunny, but I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that says something, you know.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2063181629191766500/amplify_video_thumb/2063181507053686784/img/Jah5GwJIOPOCmMsA.jpg)

In response to a personal attack by President Donald Trump the night before, Pope Leo told journalists on the papal plane to Algeria: “I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the Church is here to do. We are not politicians. We don’t deal with foreign policy with the same perspective he might understand it, but I do believe in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker.” (Video: OSV News)

What an incredible joy and honor to speak with Pope Leo XIV on the papal plane about Saint Augustine and the pope’s favorite spiritual reading. He told me that St. Augustine’s “Letter to Proba,” written in A.D. 412, also known as “Letter 130,” is a beautiful letter on prayer in which “Augustine gives some wonderful guidelines, and hints if you will, about how our prayer can really be meaningful.”

Pope Leo XIV spoke to us journalists again on the papal flight to Cameroon! Speaking in English, he underlined St. Augustine’s enduring importance, saying that the saint’s invitation “to search for God and to search for truth is something that is very much needed today.” Augustine’s “writings, his teaching, his spirituality, his invitation to search for God and to search for truth is something that is very much needed today, a message that is very real for all of us today, as believers in Jesus Christ, but (also) for all people,” he said
