Para conmemorar el aniversario número 1,700 del Concilio Ecuménico de Nicea, en el que se formuló el credo que lleva el nombre de esa ciudad y que recitamos los domingos durante la misa, el papa León XIV escribió una carta apostólica titulada “In Unitate Fidei” (“Sobre la unidad de la fe”).

To commemorate the 1,700th anniversary of the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, which began the formulation of the Nicene Creed that we recite during Mass on Sundays, Pope Leo XIV has written an apostolic letter “In Unitate Fidei” (“On the Unity of Faith”).

During his first Sunday Angelus address for 2026, Pope Leo XIV offered an insight into the hope that Jesus made possible by his Incarnation.
