Today we are witnessing a shocking polarization of international relations due to existing crises and conflicts. This was stated by Pope Leo XIV, quoted by SIR (Servizio Informazione Religiosa).
The Pope stated that "financial resources and innovative technologies are diverted from the eradication of poverty and hunger in the world to be dedicated to the production and trade of weapons".
In this way, for the Pope, dubious ideologies are promoted, while there is a cooling of human relations, which breaks down communion and distances social ties between people.
„Never before has it been so imperative to become creators of peace, working for the common good, for what benefits all“, is the Pope's appeal.
Leo XIV stated that it is necessary "with firm political will to smooth over differences in order to foster a climate of cooperation and mutual trust to meet common needs“. The Pope is categorical that the Holy See will always be at the service of harmony between peoples and will never tire of collaborating for the common good.
