Leo XIV.: New Pope scourges capitalism

The 267th Pope was introduced to his office with the handover of the insignia and service on St. Peter’s Square. His sermon during the approximately two -hour mass in the inauguration was a call to love and unity.

Read right at the beginning of his speech, the new Pope was humble: “I was selected without any earnings and come to you with fear and tremors as a brother who wants to go to the servant of your faith and your joy and want to walk with you on the way of love of God, he wants us to all be a single family.”

Again and again Pope Leo XIV responded to love and unity in his speech. The position of the Pope is characterized by “sacrificing love”, the Church of Rome has the “chair in love” and its true authority is the love of Christ. The Pope also said: “It is never about compulsory to take religious propaganda or means of power, but always and exclusively about loving as Jesus did.” The new Pope also emphasized that as a sign of unit he wanted a united church. He alluded to the struggle of the conservatives and the liberals within the Catholic Church.

In his speech, Leo XIV also flared capitalism: “In our time we still experience too much discord, too many wounds that are caused by hate, violence, prejudices, fear of the other and by an economic model that exploits the resources of the earth and push the poorest to the brink.”

Finally he called “the hour of love” and called “to bring God to God so that the unity that does not remove the differences, but brings the personal history of every single and the social and religious culture of every people”.
