Pope Leo XIV Celebrates His First Mass As Pontiff A Day After His Election

Pope Leo XIV has celebrated his first Mass, a day after his historic election as the first U.S.-born pope in the church’s 2,000-year history. The election of cardinal Robert Prevost as the new pontiff overcame the traditional prohibition against a pope from the United States. On Friday, wearing white vestments, Leo processed into the Sistine Chapel and blessed the cardinals as he approached the altar and Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgement” behind it. It was in the same frescoed chapel that the Chicago-born missionary was elected the 267th pope the previous day. Meanwhile, congratulations are pouring in from world leaders and statesmen as Leo begins his papacy.

Utah Dentists Prepare To See More Tooth Decay As Statewide Fluoride Ban Takes Effect

Utah dentists say they’re bracing for an increase in tooth decay among the state’s most vulnerable people. Utah's first-in-the-nation fluoride ban took effect Wednesday. It could be followed closely by a ban in Florida. The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Stephanie Gricius, said she does not dispute that fluoride can have some benefits but thinks people should not be given it by the government without their informed consent. Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed the law against the recommendation of many dentists and national health organizations. They warn removing fluoride will harm tooth development, especially in young patients without regular access to dental care. People can add fluoride supplements to their water at home, but the cost may be prohibitive for some.
