Following mass, Pope Leo was to attend a lunch at the Vatican with a group of homeless people, refugees and the disabled, while other community events to help the poor were planned around Rome.

The items had been held in the Vatican Museum's ethnographic collection, known as the Anima Mundi museum.

Hailed by director Spike Lee as a "great day", the gathering was the first of its kind in the Vatican.

Spike Lee presented Pope Leo XIV with a New York Knicks jersey on Saturday as the US pope welcomed film stars to the Vatican, where he called cinema a vehicle of hope.

El Pais said however that the victim had sent the accusations to the Vatican this year and it had ordered an inquiry.
