The sinner Pope Leo greeted is a great worldwide known tennis Sinner, Jannik Sinner.
In his audience with him, Pope Leo XIV wears for the first time the pectoral cross of Pope Leo XIII, through whom we should read our new pope!
This is a great video! I wish you could understand the Italian, but Jannick Sinner jokes with Pope Leo about playing tennis in the room they are in as he looks at the ceiling. You can see the beautiful pectoral cross of Pope Leo XIII that Pope Leo XIV is now wearing! Will the red shoes of the papacy of Pope Leo XIII come next??? Time will tell!

This is, thankfully, one piece of evidence to counter madtrads' freaking out about Pope Leo wearing his immediate successor's (admittedly unusual) pectoral cross. I have no idea where that came from.

To me, Leo is signaling that it's ok to look before VII for guidance. And what is the most significant of what existed before the Council, the TLM. Time will tell, of course, but one might optimistically conclude that the TLM will have a place and that it's work is no where near done.
