Description
Newly elected Pope Leo the Fourteenth delivered an impassioned plea against warfare during his initial Sunday appearance at Vatican City, urging international leaders to pursue peaceful resolutions.
Addressing ongoing global hostilities, the recently chosen Catholic leader advocated for permanent reconciliation in Ukraine, demanded humanitarian pauses in Gaza, and expressed satisfaction regarding Saturday's diplomatic breakthrough between India and Pakistan.
The pontiff described feeling "profound anguish" over Gaza's situation, voiced optimism for sustainable Indo-Pakistani relations, and advocated for "genuine, enduring reconciliation" in Ukraine.
Before assembled faithful in Saint Peter's Square, he led the traditional Regina Caeli prayer honoring Mary.
Speaking from Saint Peter's Basilica's main balcony, he declared: "Eight decades since World War Two's conclusion, humanity confronts fragmented global warfare.
"Addressing world leaders, I echo timeless wisdom: 'cease all conflicts.'"
Continuing his address, the pontiff stated: "Ukrainian suffering weighs heavily upon me. May genuine, sustainable resolution emerge swiftly through every available channel. Release all captives. Reunite families separated by conflict."
Regarding Middle Eastern tensions, he expressed: "Gaza's circumstances cause me profound distress. Immediate humanitarian access must resume. All detained individuals require liberation."
He acknowledged positive developments: "Saturday's India-Pakistan de-escalation brings hope. May forthcoming dialogue produce enduring stability."
…
The pontiff has maintained an intensive schedule, celebrating Mass Friday in the Sistine Chapel before addressing cardinals Saturday.
During Saturday's gathering, he characterized himself as an unexpected papal selection, pledging to honor Francis's "valuable contributions." Leo announced plans to advance his predecessor's missionary-focused initiatives, emphasizing enhanced ecclesiastical collaboration and commitment to society's vulnerable populations.
The pontiff declared his dedication to progressive reform, referencing Pope Francis's influential 2013 publication. He specifically noted several key priorities from this text: expanded collaborative leadership structures, devotional traditions among the faithful, compassionate ministry toward society's forgotten members, and bold engagement with modern cultural challenges.
