How Many Languages Does Pope Leo XIV Really Speak?
How many languages does Pope Leo XIV really speak—and how well? From his first words as Pope in Italian, to his greeting for Chiclayo in Spanish and the blessing in Latin, this video follows the story behind each language. It separates the five he speaks—English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and French—from German and Latin, which he reads and understands, the Quechua he learned some of, and his prepared greetings in several more languages. From his father's French lessons to the Pope's 2026 visit to France, the story shows why the person he is speaking to matters as much as the language.
