British Ambassador to the Holy See Chris Trott has voiced excitement over the recent election of Pope Leo XIV and has said he is looking forward to his part in the UK’s continuing collaboration with what he described as the world’s greatest soft power.
He also voiced his belief that the fact that Pope Leo is from the United States – while spending some 30 years as a missionary in Peru, including gaining Peruvian citizenship – won’t change the way diplomats or states engage with the Holy See, stressing that it’s about the issues, not the man.
