In a post on social media X, the Pope stated that sacred spaces are desecrated by "the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business," warning that human lives are being neglected and reduced to collateral damage of personal interests. "But no benefit can be worth the lives of the weakest, children, or families. No goal can justify the shedding of innocent blood," the Pope conveyed. He particularly emphasized that God does not bless any conflict, and that those who follow Christ cannot be on the side of those who once used the sword and today drop bombs. God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient… Pope Leo XIV also addressed global economic inequalities, highlighting that hundreds of millions of people worldwide live in extreme poverty, while disproportionate wealth is held by a few. "This is an unjust scenario that obliges us to reflect on ourselves and commit to change. The cause of inequality is not a lack of resources, but the need for a fairer distribution of wealth, which must be achieved with a moral sense and fairness," concluded the Pope.
