Pope Leo XIV tells religious leaders to 'disarm hearts and words'

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV told religious leaders during an interreligious meeting in Metz on Monday that religious discourse must constantly seek to disarm hearts and words. Speaking at the Robert Schuman Center, the Pope said this task is a direct responsibility for leaders acting as guardians of their traditions.

The Pope stated that using the name of God to justify oppression or violence is a profanation of that name. He added that nothing which harms human dignity can be claimed as true divine inspiration. The meeting in Metz served as the first event of the Pope's final day in France.
