Pope Leo XIV sends message to conference on Blessed Pope John Paul I
Pope Leo XIV sent a telegram to an international conference at the Pontifical Gregorian University on October 13, 2026, urging individuals to treat peace as a daily mission rather than an abstract idea for institutions. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, read the message during the opening of the study conference titled "John Paul I: Iustitia et Pax: Safeguarding and Promoting Peace in This Troubled World."
In his message, the Pope described peace as the fruit of order that requires respect for human dignity, fundamental rights, and solidarity among peoples. He noted that justice is an essential condition for achieving this peace.
The conference, organized by the John Paul I Vatican Foundation in collaboration with the university and the Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche, focused on the teachings of Pope John Paul I regarding peace and the Holy See's diplomatic work. Cardinal Parolin highlighted how John Paul I's diplomatic actions were rooted in faith rather than geopolitical interests, citing his role in the Beagle sovereignty dispute and the Camp David peace talks.
