Pope Urges Russia, Ukraine to Sit Down and Discuss How to End War
He said the Catholic Church must promote peace and human dignity as leaders weigh concessions and nuclear rhetoric grows more dangerous.
- On Monday, Pope Leo XIV urged Russia and Ukraine to negotiate an end to their four-year war while aboard his flight from Metz to Rome.
- In a speech in Metz, Leo urged European leaders to sacrifice positions for peace, following a four-day visit to France where he met 80,000 young people.
- Leo criticized national leaders who are "beginning to speak about nuclear weapons and wars that are becoming ever more destructive," advocating for health and education spending instead.
- The Church has a responsibility to "promote these values, continually inviting leaders — from Russia and Ukraine, as well as other countries — to come together, sit down, engage in dialogue," the Pope said.
- Military spending has been promoted for decades, the Pope noted, emphasizing that religious values focus on understanding and compassion rather than hatred and division.
