**KOSICE —** In honor of the 75th birthday of Slovak Archbishop Bernard Bober, the Vatican sent Padre Guilherme, a priest who combines worship and a career as a DJ, to the country. A rave concert blessed by Pope Leo XIV was held in front of St. Elizabeth's Cathedral in Košice, according to the [nerdsmedia Telegram channel](https://t.me/nerds/14122).
