Iranian Ambassador to the Vatican asks Pope Leo XIV in letter to defend Khamenei against USA and Israel

The letter, sent amid rising international tensions, calls on the Pontiff not merely as a head of state, but as a global moral and religious authority, to speak out against what the ambassador termed a “direct assassination threat” against a figure who, in Iran’s view, is both a political leader and a sacred religious authority for Shi’a Muslims.

Statement by then Father Prevost, now Leo XIV, against the death penalty in the U.S. comes to light

At the time, Prevost was not yet a bishop, let alone a pope. He was serving as the global head of the Augustinian order, having spent years as a missionary and church leader in Peru. His ties to Illinois, however, remained rooted: he had been born in Chicago and, according to the message, was staying at a residence owned by his brother in New Lenox, a suburb of the city.
