Addressing residents of the tax-free microstate, the pope said that “every good placed in our hands” should be shared so that life may be better for all. During the first papal visit to Monaco in nearly five centuries, Leo met Prince Albert II and members of the local Catholic community, including young people and recent converts. He also stressed that even a small country can have an outsized impact on the world stage. In remarks to local Catholics, Leo appeared to commend Prince Albert’s 2025 veto of a bill that would have legalized abortion in Monaco.
