Pope Leo received a rock star welcome over the weekend as he arrived by helicopter in a Rome suburb at what's been dubbed the Catholic Coachella.

Catholic educator Father Michael Tidd praises Pope Leo XIV's authentic approach to connecting with young people following Rome's massive faith gathering over the weekend.

Leo’s predecessor, Pope Francis, was a hit with many young people, with a style that put aside pre-prepared speeches to engage in a back and forth with big crowds and who took tough questions from them about loss of faith, abortion and sexual abuse.
