alexander pope lion XIV has made a surprisal visual aspect via picture at a rave in Slovakia, extending his blessing to the crowd of young people during a DJ set.
The event, held outside the 14th-century St. Elizabeth Cathedral in Kosice, marked the 75th birthday of Archbishop Bernard Bober. The celebration featured a concert-style setup with lasers, smoke effects, projection screens, and a DJ booth. The set was performed by Padre Guilherme, widely known as the “DJ priest,” who tours internationally with electronic shows that combine techno with sacred and folk elements.
Although the party took place on November 8, the video of the Pope’s message went viral over the weekend after Padre Guilherme shared it on social media with the caption: “Electronic music, faith and Pope Leo XIV message.”

The footage shows the pontiff appearing via a projection onto the cathedral walls as the priest performed his unreleased single “Dear Young People,” taken from his upcoming EP titled “Integral Ecology.” As the address played, lasers, spotlights, and projection mapping lit the facade.
“With joy I greet you as you gather before the splendid cathedral of Kosice, which is a beating heart of faith and hope,” the Pope said, addressing the crowd.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, became the 267th head of the Catholic Church earlier this year and is the first American to assume the role. Since the beginning of his papacy, the pontiff has placed emphasis on cultural engagement and exploring new ways of promoting religious values through the arts.
His widely shared Letterboxd post listed his four favorite films: ‘The Sound of Music’, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, ‘Ordinary People’, and ‘Life is Beautiful’, choices he said reflect “the best of the human spirit.”
