  • Pope Leo reveals physical assault in Ireland Assault

    Pope Leo, a man, was physically attacked by an unidentified man during a visit to Ireland, who he said began the assault after identifying him as a priest. He did not specify the exact date or location, though he had visited Fethard, Co. Tipperary in June 2005 and returned to Ireland in 2007. An Augustinian priest witnessed the attack and rescued him. Pope Leo revealed the incident in September 2025. No arrest, charge or court proceedings have been reported.
