The message of Pope Leo XIV after the United States bombings to Iran
Pope Leo XIV regretted from the window of the Apostolic Palace, before thousands of faithful who listened to him in the Plaza de San Pedro, the “alarming news” arriving from the Middle East, especially from Iran, bombarded last night in the United States.
“This dramatic scenario that includes Israel and Palestine threatens to leave the daily suffering of the population, especially in Gaza and other territories where the urgency of adequate humanitarian support becomes increasingly urgent,” he said.
The Pontiff said that “today more than ever humanity shouts and invokes peace.” “A cry that claims responsibility and reason and that should not be suffocated by the heat of weapons or by rhetorical words that incite the conflict,” he claimed, recalling the aforementioned “moral responsibility” to the rulers of the world.
Leo XIV recalled that “there are no distant conflicts when human dignity is at stake” and warned that “war does not solve problems but amplifies them.” The conflict, he stressed, “produces deep injuries in the history of peoples that take generations to heal.” “No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, the stolen future. That diplomacy to silence the weapons, that the nations trace their future with works of peace, not with violence or bloody conflicts,” the pontiff implored.
