Pope Leo XIV comments on housing problem

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV said political leaders and authorities must find solutions to the growing housing crisis. Speaking to reporters on his flight from Metz to Rome, the Pope noted that the housing problem in many countries is too large for parishes, dioceses, or the Church alone to solve.

The Pope suggested that people of faith and those without faith must work together to find fairer solutions to prevent housing issues. He stated that instead of only reacting to emergencies, society needs to examine the systemic causes of the problem to provide better help. While he said he was not familiar with the specific case of Maricarmen Abascal, he noted that neighbors, local communities, and the state should analyze how such situations are allowed to occur.
