July 21 (UPI) -- Pope Leo XIV spoke with astronaut Buzz Aldrin to discuss the 56th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. During the call, the two reminisced on the 1969 landing, "reflecting on the mystery of creation, its greatness and fragility."

Pope Leo XIV has declared the first miracle of his papacy, referencing the birth of a baby boy in Rhode Island in 2007. The newborn's heart stopped, and then his doctor prayed to a 19th century priest.
