Papa Leo XIV Katekesi Kuhusu Mtaguso Mkuu wa Pili wa Vatican: Utu Na Heshima ya Binadamu

In brief

Pope Leo XIV gave a catechesis on the Second Vatican Council regarding human dignity and respect. He addressed the pastoral constitution "Gaudium et Spes" and its theme of human dignity and respect as a gift and a responsibility.

The Pope noted that the Council fathers used the first chapter of this constitution to examine the Church and the vocation of the human person. He explained that the Council analyzed modern values to reconnect them to their divine origins, though he observed that these values often require purification due to the corruption of the human heart.
