VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -Pope Leo will publish the first document of his tenure on October 9, the Vatican said on Saturday, with a text that is likely to offer hints about the new pontiff's priorities for the 1.4-billion-member Catholic Church.

The document, known as an apostolic exhortation, will take the name "Dilexi te" (He loved you), and was formally signed by the pope on Saturday ahead of its publication, the Vatican said.
