The peace proposed by Pope Leo XIV is not a naïve hippie ideal expert says

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

A new book collecting the teachings of Pope Leo XIV on peace describes his vision as a concept that moves through the pain and wounds of the world rather than being an abstract or naive ideal.

The anthology, titled Disarmed and Disarming: Peace Is a Gift, was published last week in Italian by the Vatican Publishing House. Alessandro Banfi, the communications director of the Oasis Foundation and coordinator of the book, told ACI Prensa that the volume gathers the principal texts on peace issued since the pope was elected on May 8, 2025. The collection includes speeches, messages, and a previously unpublished foreword written by the pope.

Banfi noted that the pope's introduction to the book emphasizes that the peace of Christ is connected to the Passion and the cross. An English language edition of the volume is expected soon.
