Pope Leo XIV Speaks with Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11 Anniversary
"56 years after the Apollo 11 moon landing, Pope Leo XIV spoke this evening with astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Together, they shared memories of a historic achievement—a testament to human ingenuity—and, with the words of Psalm 8, they reflected on the mystery of Creation, its greatness, and its fragility. Before ending the call, the Pope blessed the astronaut, his family, and his colleagues," the Vatican press office reported, CE Report quotes ANSA.
Aldrin, 95, was the second man to set foot on the Moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission, following commander Neil Armstrong.
