New Pope Leo XIV used his first homily Friday to warn against reducing Jesus to “a kind of charismatic leader or superman”, in an apparent message to evangelical Christians.
“There are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman. This is true not only among non-believers but also among many baptised Christians, who thus end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism,” he told a mass with cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, according to images broadcast by the Vatican.
