“Where are you in the ‘business’ of wars that shatter the lives of young people forced to take up arms; target defenseless civilians, children, women and elderly people; devastate cities, the countryside and entire ecosystems, leaving only rubble and pain in their wake? Brother, sister, where are you among the migrants who are despised, imprisoned and rejected, among those who seek salvation and hope but find only walls and indifference?”
Pope Leo XIV during the World Meeting on Human Fraternity.
