In the heart of Rome, Patrick Kelly, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, reflects on the man he knew—Pope Francis.

Pope Leo XIV took time to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his home country after a morning visit to Lampedusa.

Pope's visit echoes Francis' 2013 pilgrimage as pontiff mourns migrants lost at sea.

As the nation marks 250 years, historians trace the founders' complicated legacy on faith and freedom.
