Dr Ron Hoenig welcomes the election of the new Pope, Leo XIV, saying, “His first address as Pope called for building ‘bridges through dialogue, through encounter,’ further reflects these values: ‘peace, charity, and to be close to those who suffer”
We look to Pope Leo XIV to be a bridge-builder who honours the legacy of recent popes and advances a spirit of friendship, respect, and cooperation with the Jewish community. May his papacy be marked by peace, inclusivity, and strengthened bonds among all faiths and traditions.”
