The Pope at the Angelus: "Stop the tragedy of war before it's too late"

" Today more than ever, humanity cries out and invokes peace: it is a cry that demands responsibility and reason and must not be suffocated by the roar of weapons and rhetorical words that incite conflict ." Thus the Pope at the Angelus , before thousands of faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square to listen to his message.

" Stop the tragedy of war before it becomes an irreparable chasm ," he said. According to Leo XIV, "war does not solve problems, but rather amplifies them and produces deep wounds in the history of the people that require generations to heal."

The Pope's wish is that " diplomacy silences the weapons ."
