Pope Leo XIV on personally carrying the Cross during the traditional Friday Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum: “I think it will be an important sign because of what the Pope represents: a spiritual leader in today’s world, a voice to say that Christ still suffers. And I carry all these sufferings in my prayers as well.”
Remember he also thinks in important to get down on his knees before a pagan idol. And Christ does not still suffer. He is in heaven where there is no suffering.
