Pope Leo XIV is returning to an old tradition that Francis has broken.

The article reports that Pope Leo XIV is returning to the traditional summer practice of spending vacations at Castel Gandolfo, which was abandoned by his predecessor Pope Francis. While Pope Francis had kept the Apostolic Palace open to visitors and repurposed parts of it as a museum and educational center, Pope Leo XIV has decided to resume the historical function of the site as a papal residence during his vacation period. The Vatican announced that all audiences, including general, private, and special audiences, will be suspended during this time, and midweek meetings on St. Peter’s Square will also be paused until August 5th. This marks a shift from Pope Francis’ approach, who remained in Castel Gandolfo for only part of his papacy and allowed the palace to remain accessible to tourists.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about the change in papal vacation practices without overtly favoring either side of the political spectrum. It provides a balanced comparison between Pope Francis' policies and those of Pope Leo XIV, focusing on administrative decisions rather than taking a党
