Vaticano: Papa exorta cristãos a deixar de lado «as queixas e as calúnias», promovendo correção fraterna

Pope Leo XIV urged Christians to reject complaints and slander in favor of practicing fraternal correction during the Angelus on September 6, 2026. Speaking in Vatican City, the pope encouraged Catholic communities to commit to forgiveness and mutual love to overcome conflicts.

Leo XIV described the art of fraternal correction as delicate and often forgotten. He noted that while complaining and slandering are easier paths, they do not produce positive results. The pope also stated that the care and goodness received by believers make them more capable of fulfilling their responsibilities.

During the same address, the pope expressed solidarity with the people of Ukraine, calling for an end to the violence in the country.
