Pope Leo XIV recently visited the Sicilian island of Lampedusa to honor migrants who have died trying to reach Europe. He prayed at a migrant cemetery and celebrated a Mass for the island's residents. This visit occurred on the Fourth of July, a significant date in the United States.

The pope's actions are notable given his past disagreements with the Trump administration over immigration policies. After his visit to Lampedusa, he met with the US ambassador to the Holy See, a rare occurrence for a pope.
