Pope Leo XIV emphasizes dialogue and peace in meeting with religious leaders

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV called for friendship and dialogue during a meeting with representatives of various religious traditions in Metz on September 28, 2026. According to Bishop Denis Moutel of Saint-Brieuc and Tréguier, the Pope stated that dialogue does not diminish religious identity but expresses it through simplicity and truth by opening people to the differences of others.

The Pope also emphasized that everyone should participate in serving peace and defending the dignity and life of every human person. During a peace march in Saint-Brieuc, Imam Taïcha Ben Taled spoke on behalf of the Muslim community, noting that while participants hold different beliefs, they share a common humanity.
