Vatican officials told the media that Pope Leo XIV is getting ready to make his first international journey, which will take him to Turkey and Lebanon at the end of November. The media is aware that the two-stage journey would probably take less than a week. Official visits are typically not confirmed by the Vatican until closer to the event.
The US-born pope would be traveling abroad for the first time since taking over as head of the Catholic Church in May. In July, Leo expressed his desire to travel to Iznik, Turkey, to commemorate the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, a significant event in Church history.
The council, which was called by Emperor Constantine in 325 AD, was the first to unite Christian bishops from all around the Roman Empire. It established the framework for the Nicene Creed, a creed that aimed to omit some alleged heresies.
The credo, which is still the central tenet of the majority of Christian faiths, affirms that there is only one God who exists in three parts: the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. According to Vatican sources, plans were also being made for a trip to Lebanon during that time.
